Overall Security Question

I'm curious about how security is handled with Visual Composer Apps. From what I think I know it creates a web app with interactive objects (flash?). Some of the objects data will come from different infoproviders. How do you control the security? Is it at the app level? InfoProvider level? Am I even looking at it the right way?

Thanks!

a) VC is embedded in the Portal and uses therefore Portal security. The users that you use for VC is a Portal user, which you normally map to the backend. That means if you go through the app-layer, you have full security from the application.

b) concerning direct database access (and bypassing a potentially available app layer): there you have to make sure that the authorization on the database level are maintained and mapped to the Portal user.
