Reviewing the permissions defined in the security file

The permissions available to groups and users in a security file can be reviewed by users that have permission. You can also create reports that detail the information that you need.

About this task

You can see the permissions that are granted to a database management group or user by:
  • On the Groups page of the Security Manager, expand the group type, select the required group, and click Edit.
  • On the Users page, select the group and click Edit > Show User Permissions.. The database management permissions that are granted to the user by virtue of their membership of one or more groups are displayed.
Users do not see the effect of any changes to their permissions until they log off and log on again.

Procedure

You can also produce a Security Design report:
  1. Select Security menu > Security Design report.
  2. To include information, for example user information in the report, turn on the relevant box.
