Database Permissions
Root administrators can delegate a few administrative tasks to users by granting them permissions for actions that target the database itself. The Database permissions page, opened by clicking Database Permissions in the Database navigation sidebar, shows a table with users and groups mapped to their granted permissions. The table columns are:
•
The Name column — the name of a user or group.
•
The Permissions column — the database permissions granted to the user or group.
The table is initially empty, which means that only root administrators can perform these administrative tasks.
See Access Control in the Model Manager Reference Manual.
Click the Edit button to edit the table of granted database permissions.
To grant permissions to users or groups:
1
Select a user or group from the Add list.
2
In the added table row, select the permissions to grant from the Permissions list.
3
Repeat for other users or groups.
4
Click the Save button to save the table.
Most of the available permissions are listed in the Permission Catalog in the Model Manager Reference Manual. The remaining ones apply to the asset management system and are listed in Table 3-1.
Table 3-1: available asset management system permissions for the database itself.
