I've read that the roles on objects (like files) are in reality of no 
use and are filled up just for the sake of filling. That's why every 
file has role object_r.

Which prompts me a question -- do the user and role of objects (like 
files) have any significance? Or can access be allowed/denied based on 
the object's role and user?
