The following list contains some important things to consider when setting up your [!INCLUDEprod_short] security system.
-
The [!INCLUDEprod_short] security system is initiated when you create the first login. Until you create the first login, any user can have full access to carry out any transaction in a [!INCLUDEprod_short] database. Therefore, the first login that you create must be a superuser (that is, should be assigned the SUPER permission set). The superuser must own and administer all access to the database from within [!INCLUDEprod_short]. We recommend that the user who administers security in [!INCLUDEprod_short] be a superuser.
-
One of the first things that the superuser should do is create logins for the other users that have access to the database and grant them the appropriate permissions.
-
In [!INCLUDEprod_short], a table can contain a FlowField, which generates sums based on values that are stored in another table. When using a FlowField, a user must have permission to read both tables, or they won't be allowed to read the first table.
