That's basically it - yes.

If you only want to allow access to a few columns in the table,
then yes - build up the view by adding them individually:

   view ifview  include   ifIndex    #  (though this is Not Needed)
   view ifview  include   ifMut
   view ifview  include   ifSpeed

If you want to grant access to *most* of the table, but not all,
then try something like:

   view  ifview  include  ifTable
   view  ifview  exclude ifAdminStatus
   view  ifview  exclude ifOperStatus

Can I suggest that you use a slightly less misleading name
for the view :-)

No - the mask controls which subidentifiers to look at when checking
for OID matches.   But it's a simple binary - yes or no. It doesn't handle
ranges.

It's typically used for granting access to a particular row of the table:

   view ifRowView   include   ifEntry.0.5   0xfa0

(matching any OID of the form  1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.x.5
 i.e  any column instance in row 5 of the table).
