Chapter 7 Building a Database Access Structure

Groups (PDM)

Groups are used to facilitate the granting of privileges and permissions to users. They prevent the time-consuming and error-prone process of assigning privileges and permissions individually to each user.

Groups may have:

• privileges that control their level of access (see Granting system privileges)
• permissions that allow them to perform actions on objects (see Granting object permissions)
