The user has permission to start a database.

Manage Users

The user has permission to create, edit and delete user accounts.

Note: Users with this permission cannot edit their own privileges or database roles, nor can they delete their own account.

Browse Database

Users have read-only access to the database catalogue and database objects, which allows browsing and retrieving of the objects.

Create Objects

Users can create feature objects on a database object layer or import feature objects from an existing feature layer into a database object layer. This only adds a geometry and attributes; no coverage data is involved. Users with this role also have Update.

Update Objects

Users can edit the attributes of database objects.

Delete Objects

Users can delete database objects.

Purge Database

Users can delete database objects and empty the database recycle bin, which purges the database immediately. See Purging Database Objects for information on purging a database.

Source Data Administrator

Users can perform tasks in BASE Editor involving the source data in a database object, such as adding coverages to a database, replacing the coverage associated with a database object and combining coverages in the database. Users with this role also have Create, Update and Delete.

Catalogue Administrator

Users can upload custom catalogue files to a database using the BDB Administration Tools. See Catalogue Maintenance for more information. Users with this role MUST have the Start Database and Stop Database node manager privileges assigned since uploading a catalogue requires restarting the database.

System Administrator

Users with this role have all available permissions. This role is required if the user will be editing user accounts. This role also allows access to some database system tables.

Profile

Username

The username to assign to the user account. If a user is created with an invalid name, an error message will be displayed when you attempt to commit the new account to the server.

A user name cannot be changed once the account has been committed to the node manager.

Password

The password to assign to the user account. This field can be used to create the password for a new account, or edit the password for an existing account.

It is suggested that passwords be changed when users are disconnected from the system. This ensures that the updated credentials are propagated throughout the system.

Confirm password

The password to assign to the account, re-entered to ensure that no errors were introduced when entering the password.

Node manager privileges

The node manager privileges to assign to the user account.

1. Click to populate the check box for each privilege you want to assign.

Database security

The user roles that can be assigned to a user for each database to which they have access. A set of roles is assigned to a user and then from the selected roles, different roles can be assigned for different databases. If you are editing an existing user account, the roles assigned to that user will be displayed in the Selected roles list when the Edit User Account dialog box is displayed. T

1. Select the desired role in the Available roles list.

2. Click the Right-Arrow button to move the role to the Selected roles list.

The Left-Arrow button can be used to move roles from the Selected roles list back to the Available roles list.

If the selected role is dependent on other roles, those roles will also be added to the Selected roles list.

Available databases

All databases that are currently started on the node manager. Different roles can be assigned to each database in the list.

Selected roles

The roles assigned to a user for the database currently selected in the Available databases list. Only roles selected in the General tab are enabled to be selected in this tab.
