Working with Database Permissions

Database Permissions control user access to the Event-Management Databases in your TLC environment. You can configure the Database Permissions for all User Accounts and Groups in:

The Permissions tab tab of the Event-Management Database properties dialog (see Table 107), and

The Database Permissions dialog in the Administration Manager (see Figure 48).

These UI components are identical, and you can perform the same functions in both.

To configure the user permissions for an Event-Management Database in the Administration Manager:

1. In the side bar, select Resources >Administration ManagerAdministration Manager.
2. In the side bar of the Administration Manager, expand the PermissionsPermissions.
3. Under Permissions, expand the Databases group. This group contains the Event-Management Databases in your TLC environment.
4. Select a database.
5. In the workspace, TLC presents a list of the User Accounts and Groups with permissions for the database. Table 63 defines each Database Permission.
