    looking up security information of identified objects in a metamodel stored in the one or more databases and determining which of the identified objects to filter out of the user query, wherein the security information qualifies which data objects are accessible by certain roles;

    based on the user role and the identified objects to be filtered out of the user query, automatically building an expression tree to filter out secure data for which the user does not have access rights and modifying the user query by appending the expression tree to the user query to generate a modified user query to filter out secure data for which the user does not have access rights; and

    applying the modified user query to the one database of the one or more databases;

    using the repository to secure the security information in a database model; and
