Types of group

There are four types of group that can be used to control the access that users must data in an iBase database and to the iBase features.

Database Management groups
Database Management groups allow you to define groups with basic permissions to affect data records or folder objects (sets, queries, and so on), and entire databases or security files.
System Commands Access Control groups
System Commands Access Control Groups can be used to deny and hide specific iBase commands to users.
Data Access Control groups
Data Access Control (DAC) groups control permissions related to entity types, link types, fields, and records in each database. This allows a very fine control of how individual items of data are made visible to, or changed by, groups of users.
Folder Object Control groups
You can use Folder Object Control (FOC) groups to control access to queries, sets, and all other folder objects that require restricted access. When a member of a FOC group wants to save a report definition, for example, they can choose to restrict access to themselves and other members of the group. They can also choose to save it as a public or private object if they want.
