Roles

 

Roles, as well as users, can be granted privileges. These roles can be granted to users which, in their turn, inherit the privilege list that has been granted to the role.Using roles can simplify security administration in databases with a large number of users or with a complex security system.

 

 

New roles are created within Create Role Wizard. In order to run the wizard you should either

 

•select the Object | Create Database Object... main menu item;
•select the Role icon in the Create Database Object dialog

or

•select the Roles list or any object from that list in the explorer tree;
•select the Create New Role... item from the popup menu

or

•open the database in Database Editor and the Roles tab there;
•press the Insert key or select the Create New Role... item from the popup menu (alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar).

       

To create a new role with the same properties as one of the existing roles has:

 

•select the Object | Duplicate Database Object... main menu item;
•follow the instructions of Duplicate Object Wizard.

 

 

 

Roles can be edited within Role Editor. In order to run the editor you should either

 

•select the role for editing in the explorer tree (type the first letters of the role name for quick search);
•select the Edit Role ... item from the popup menu

or

•open the database in Database Editor and the Roles tab there;
•select the role to edit;
•press the Enter key or select the Edit Role item from the popup menu (alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar).

       

You can change the name of the role using the Rename Role dialog. To open the dialog you should either

•select the role to rename;
•select the Rename Role item from the popup menu (alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar).
