Access Privileges

Access privileges give users the authority to access specified resources at runtime.

There are three categories of access privileges:

• Execution privilege allows a user to execute an access module, activity, or category.
• Table access privileges allow a user to perform these operations on data contained in a table:
  • Select
  • Insert
  • Update
  • Delete
• Special access privileges refer to the authority to signon to a system or to execute utility functions against an area of the database:
  • SIGNON allows a user to sign on to a specified CA IDMS system.
  • DBAREAD allows a user to run read-only utilities against an area.
  • DBAWRITE allows a user to run utilities that perform read-write functions against an area.
