Applying Login Security

All enterprise databases use login security. For standard databases, there are two ways to apply login security if desired:

  • Upon creating a new standard database (File > New), you can make it login secure by selecting the Apply login security check box.

  • For an existing standard database, you can apply login security at any time by choosing File > Manage Database > Users and Security and then clicking the Apply Login Security button at the lower left corner of the window.

When you create an enterprise database or apply login security to a standard database, you will automatically be a member of the Admin security group, which has full permissions throughout the database. You can then use the Users and Security window to add/edit/delete other user accounts and assign them to appropriate security groups.

Note: You cannot automatically remove security from a database once it has been enabled. However, you can create a new non-secure database and use the Import from existing database check box to automatically import all of the data from the secure database to the non-secure one.
