Thread Concept

Question

Hi, one thing lacking for me is one concept of threads. For example, say i have a customer class that has methods to deletecustomer, addcustomer, editcustomer etc.
I make this runnable.
Then say for instance, i have 3 users. they all want to work on three different customers at the same time.
So
user 1 wants to delete a customer
user 2 wants to add a customer
user 3 wants to edit a customer.
Making a new thread for these is fine. However, one concept i don't understand is what to write in the run method??
I can't type addcustomer, deletecustomer or editcustomer, as these may not always be needed. Can someone help me to understand this please?

So you have to bring in the idea that you have to somehow segregate the privileges to a specific user. What I have expressed is a good starting point that brings simple high-level thoughts with no added complexity other than whats required. I haven't stewed him down the route that it has to be some super-duper design. Please if you have any other suggestions on his primary issues we would love to listen. If not, keep you're negitive views to yourself if people are brain-storming
DanielOne more try:
The OP started by writing this:

I make this runnable.Daniel, you're grabbing the wrong end of the stick. The OP has this:
class Customer implements Runnable {
    void deletecustomer() {...}
    void addcustomer() {...}
    void editcustomer () {...}
    @Override public void run() {
        deletecustomer ? addcustomer ? editcustomer ?
}He's confused. He's stuck DAO methods in a business object and then tried to turn it into a task by making it Runnable. I claim it's got nothing to do with user privileges and that will just confuse the OP further.
What the OP really needs to do is step back and describe his problem, not his purported solution.
