No, the Mendix entity access does not inherit any rules from other entities. If you want to apply the same constraint on an entity as on one of its generalisations, you'll have to repeat the access rule.

The same is true for associated entities: you cannot "extend" the constraint of one entity over an association with another entity without repeating the full path.

In both cases it's basically "what you see is what you get": the access rules that Mendix shows for one entity is everything that is taken into consideration when determining whether a user can access the data or not.
