In the current Genex-1.0 release, you can do it, but you can only
protect Experiments, ArrayMeasurements, and Spots. The other meta-data
is public information. Michael Pear submitted a data normalization
framework that used this kind of protection. It is in its own branch
in the Genex CVS repository, and you can look at how he does it by
checking out his code. The CVS login instructions are at: 

  https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=16453

You will need to use the branch tag 'mpear_experimental_1_0_2' to get
his code:

  cvs -d :pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/genex \
    co -r mpear_experimental_1_0_2 genex-server

The good news is that Genex-2.0, which is now under heavy development
by me, will have this implemented. And, nearly all tables in the DB
will be protected, not just the three mentioned above. I will be
making a developers beta release of Genex-2.0 in a week or two.
