Roles


A Role is a set of privileges that can be granted to users or to other roles. You can use roles to administer database privileges. You can add privileges to a role and then grant the role to a user. The user can then enable the role and exercise the privileges granted by the role.

 

Creating Roles

Hint: To create a new role, you can also right-click the Roles node or any object within this node in the DB Explorer tree and select the New Role item from the context menu.

 

To create a new role with the same properties as one of existing roles has:

Alternatively, you can right-click a role in the DB Explorer tree and select the Duplicate Role <role_name>... context menu item.

 

Duplicate Object Wizard allows you to select the database to create a new role in, and to edit the result SQL statement for creating the role.

 

 

Editing Roles

  • select the role for editing in the DB Explorer tree (type the first letters of the role name for quick search);
  • right-click the object and select the Edit Role <role_name> context menu item, or simply double-click the role;
  • edit role properties using the appropriate tabs of Role Editor.

 

Dropping Roles

  • select the role to drop in the DB Explorer tree;
  • right-click the object and select the Drop Role <role_name>... context menu item;
  • confirm dropping in the dialog window.

 

Note: If more convenient, you can also use the following shortcuts:

Ctrl+N to create a new role;

Ctrl+O to edit the selected role;

Shift+Del to drop the object from the database.
