Hi,

To increase security in a proposed application, I'm considering mirroring
the PHP based access rights  in MySQL. The example I have here is something
like an account manager and their supervisor.

Account manager would have access rights to his customer records, both
checked through PHP and MySQL by-row grant access.
Supervisor would have the same access rights and also to his other account
managers, both checked through PHP and MySQL by-row grant access.

What is everyone's opinion if this is a significant increase in security
against the wrong account managers seeing customer information? Has anyone
worked with rows based security on MySQL or possibly on Postgres?

Speed is likely not a problem in  this application, I would appreciate if it
was ignored in this discussion.


Kind Regards,

Jochen Daum
