That sounds intuitively reasonable, though it depends on what "which Bob is allowed to do" means. For instance, if
Aliceis only allowed to enable or disable connections to the database, and she disables them, then she has prevented
Bobfrom, for example, creating tables, something which Bob is otherwise allowed to do, because without the ability to
connect,he cannot create tables.
