Overview
Whereas physical database security limits the database and non-database users who can access the physical database files, logical database security limits the items of data that database users and programs can access. Each DBMS has its own method of controlling logical database security.
Enterprise Database Server Databases
Enterprise Database Server provides the following three levels of security:
-
Item-level security
This level of security controls the items within a record a user can access or modify.
-
Record-level security
This level of security controls the records within a data set a user can access or modify.
-
Structure-level security
This level of security controls which database structures a user can access or modify.
The mechanisms Enterprise Database Server uses to provide these three levels of security are
-
Remaps which provide item and record-level security.
-
Logical databases which provide structure-level security.
