User Privileges

How to:

User privileges associated with a directory or other server objects, such as procedures or synonyms, can be managed from the DMC.

Note: These privileges can only be controlled by a user that is logged on to a secure server with a user ID with Server Administrator privileges. If you are logged on with an ID that is not a Server Administrator, you will only have access to view your own privileges. You cannot change them or view the privileges of another user.

There are two ways to access the Manage Privileges dialog box:

  • Right-click an application directory and click Privileges.

    or

  • Right-click an object (procedure, synonym, flow, and so on) and click Privileges.
