Authorization

Defines the authorization mechanism in Sybase Control Center: the login account types and the roles.

Access to Sybase Control Center is controlled by login accounts. You grant permissiongs to a login account by assigning predefined roles which control tasks the user can perform in Sybase Control Center, such as administration and monitoring of particular types of Sybase servers. The roles can be assigned directly to login accounts or to groups; a login account inherits the roles of any group to which it belongs. Sybase Control Center classifies roles as follows:

System roles – define how a user can interact with Sybase Control Center.
Product roles – define how a user can interact with any managed resource in Sybase Control Center, for example a Replication Server or an Adaptive Server.
