HP ALLBASE/4GL Run-Time Administration Manual
User Access
All HP ALLBASE/4GL user access to HP ALLBASE/SQL databases is controlled
by the security provisions of HP ALLBASE/SQL, and is determined by the
user's MPE/iX login name. This login name may not be the same as the
user's HP ALLBASE/4GL name.
The type of HP ALLBASE/SQL user access required for database users
depends on the security requirements of the HP ALLBASE/4GL applications
you are using. The HP ALLBASE/SQL access requirements for the various HP
ALLBASE/4GL user types are summarized below.
System Administrator
The HP ALLBASE/4GL system administrator must be the database creator, or
have database administrator authority (dba) for an application database.
Application End Users.
All application end users require connect authority for the application
database.
All application end users must have run authority for the module for the
applications or versions they use. The module name is owner_group.name
where owner_group is the SQL owner group for the application, and name is
the name of the application or version.
Application end users should not be members of the SQL owner group for
the application. If they are members of this group, they will have
authority to create, delete, or modify database tables and modules.
Database Connect and Release
HP ALLBASE/4GL connects to the application database environment
automatically and also releases from the database environment
automatically.
In the run-time environment, HP ALLBASE/4GL connects to an application
database automatically when the user executes a command that requires
database access. HP ALLBASE/4GL then remains connected to the database
for the duration of the HP ALLBASE/4GL session.
