Description: To facilitate the provisioning of access control by a security administrator using the View-Based Access Control Model for tables in which multiple users may need to independently create or modify entries, the initial index is used as an 'ownerindex'.

When used in conjunction with such a security policy all entries in the table belonging to a particular user (or group) will have the same value for this initial index. For a given user's entries in a particular table, the object identifiers for the information in these entries will have the same subidentifiers (except for the 'column' subidentifier) up to the end of the encoded owner index.
