Chapter 13 Managing Database Access

Managing database users

People allowed to connect to the database are called users. Users may have a role that specifies their responsibility as database users. Users can be gathered in groups in order to factorize their rights.

This section explains how to define database users, roles and groups.

Note
Not all DBMS support the concepts of user, role and group. For example, Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere does not support roles whereas Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise does. For more information on which concept is supported, see the documentation of your DBMS
