Check Permissions

System and organization administrators use a combination of user logins, privileges, permissions, and roles (role-based access control) to manage Data Director users. Role-based access control provides management of users and the tasks that they can perform on objects. You can grant and revoke roles and permissions at the system level, on organizations, and on database groups, databases, and templates within organizations.

Roles are sets of permissions required to perform particular jobs. Jobs are sets of tasks that a user with a particular role is responsible for performing, such as the set of tasks that are the responsibility of a database administrator. System and organization administrators define roles as part of defining security policies, and grant the roles to users. To change the permissions and tasks associated with a particular job, the system or organization administrator updates the role settings. The updated settings take effect for all users associated with the role.
