  no.
  from the ets manual;

new(Name, Options) -> tid()

Options = [Option]
 Option = Type | Access | named_table | {keypos,Pos}
  Access = public | protected | private


  * protected The owner process can read and write to the table. Other
    processes can only read the table. This is the default setting for
    the access rights.
  * private Only the owner process can read or write to the table.
  * public Any process may read or write to the table.
