You can but the default is to allow the execution of all functions.
You need to revoke the existing permission of executing all functions
before you can allow only a single function to be run.
If you want a specific function to be accessed only by selected roles
then you revoke public access when you create it and allow access to the
one or more roles you want to allow access.
