Roles
All users interact with a IB/FB server within the context of a role. A user can belong to multiple groups and have multiple roles, and the operations that are permitted by each role determine the actions that a user can perform.
To create a new role:
- Select the Database | New Object... menu item.
- Select Role in the New Object Dialog.
- Edit role definition within the Role Manager.
Hint: To create new role you can also right-click the Roles node of the explorer tree and select the New Role... item from the popup menu.
To create a new role with the same properties as one of the existing roles has:
- Select the Database | Duplicate Object... menu item.
- Follow the instructions of the Duplicate Object Wizard.
To edit the existing role:
- Select the role for editing in the explorer tree (type the first letters of the role name for quick search).
- Right-click and select the Edit Role <Role_Name> item from the popup menu or simply double-click the role.
- Edit role definition and data on the appropriate tabs of the Role Manager.
To change the name of the role:
- Select the role to rename in the explorer tree.
- Right-click and select the Rename Role <Role_Name> item from the popup menu.
- Edit role name in the dialog window.
To drop a role:
- Select the role to drop in the explorer tree.
