Roles
A MaxDB Role is a group of privileges that can be granted to database users, user groups, or to other roles.
While privileges apply at all times, roles are initially inactive, which means that the privileges they contain do not apply. You can activate roles for individual database sessions. Every user to whom roles have been assigned can also define which of the roles should be active in each database session. The user can change this definition after opening a database session.
Creating Roles
New roles are created within Create Role Wizard. In order to run the wizard you should select the Roles list or any object from that list in the explorer tree and then use the Create New Role item from the popup menu.
Editing Roles
Roles are edited within Role Editor. In order to open the editor you should
| • | 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. |
Dropping Roles
To drop the existing role:
| • | select the role to drop in the explorer tree; |
| • | select the Drop Role item from the popup menu(alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar) |
and confirm dropping in the dialog window.
