Re: [U2] [UD] Security and Permissions

Bill,

We've had to resolve a similar issue. We're on AIX, but maybe our solution 
will give you an idea. We have created two userids. The first is 
user-specific and has the folder privileges required to use UD. But the 
login is restricted so that they're forced into UD screens and can't get 
to the OS level. The second ID is shared (wouldn't have to be, though) and 
has read-only access to the UD folders but broader access to the rest of 
the system.

So maybe your client sets up two ID's for each of the admins that don't 
get full control. The first forces them to run the UD app, the second has 
reduced access to UD but gets them to the OS and admin stuff.

Brad.
 
 A client of ours is running UD.  The client has a corporate dbms account 

 that they only want two people to have access to.  Their regular dbms 
 account is defined, via Windows permissions, to allow access to their 
 UniData users and Windows administrators.  There are several 
 administrators for this machine, three of which they don't want to have 
 access to this corporate dbms directory/account and one they do.
 
 We've created a group corporate and assigned this group, and only this 

 group, as having full control of the corporate directory.  However, 
 UniData won't work unless this directory gives access to the 
 administrators group.  How can I accommodate our clients requirements?
 
 Thanks,
 
 Bill Haskett
