Hey Tim,

I don't know if this is WAD or not however I found that if the "Login"
tab contains an administrator login (either the default administrator
or a user with administrator role privileges) the administrative
tasking capabilities (i.e., Create a new database, create a new table,
edit a database, etc.) are visible. However, if I delete the "Login"
tab information and login when connecting the session, these
administrative tasks are not visible. It does not matter what
administrative user logs in (even the default Administrator user) the
options just aren't there.

Is this working as designed or a possible flaw?

Thanks...

Tim,

Upon further testing I stand corrected on this statement. Due to
network settings at my office, it appears it worked slightly different
than my programming office at home.

While it is still true that I *cannot* create a new database if I log
in interactively (i.e., not on the Login tab) I find that I can do most
everything else (i.e., create new tables, migrate, drop a database,
etc.) However, it does not show me the database privileges for the
logged in user while with the login tab filled in, it does show the
database privileges.

Not a really big deal but I wanted to point out my discovery.

Members of the Administrators role don't see their effective rights like
non-admin users.  Instead, they see a dialog that allows them to modify any
privileges for any user or role (including themselves).

Hi Tim,

That was my point...maybe I did explain it well enough. It does not
show the dialog or allow me to change any permissions in that situation
namely if I log in interactively (i.e., not on the Login tab). When I
click on the combo box, it is empty even though there are three users
(Admin, myself and "testuser").

I can't replicate this here.  Could you possibly run through the exact steps
that you take after logging into the session ?

I sure will. In fact, I will create a Camtasia video and place it on
the web so you can watch as I do it. I should get it done later tonight.

Wow, thanks.

BTW, I really like Camstasia.  We've had it for a while, but I haven't had
time to complete a product tour video that I've been working on.  Hopefully
soon I'll have it done.

Very much so, thanks.  Please see my response via email.

For everyone else - Jan is correct.  The bug occurs when you leave the User
Name blank in the session options in the EDB Manager.
