Michael Fullerton | I am having trouble figuring out the EDB security settings. In DBISAM
I would just encrypt certain sensitive tables. However with EDB I would settle with setting up a database so that in order to connect to it or open it with the DB Manager you need to supply a username and password. Like what you have to do in bigger DBs like MS SQL Server. Ideally it would start out wide open but if the user wanted to they could setup a username and password. So how would you go about this? You can seem to do this in the EDB Manager software. |

After that point, how complicated the user security scheme is really depends upon how far you want to take things. You can create roles, assign privileges for the tables, etc. to these roles, and then grant these roles to users as they are created, or you can just grant each individual user the desired privileges to the various database objects in the database. Did you read this section of the manual yet ? http://www.elevatesoft.com/edb1sql_user_security.htm -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
