Logins, Roles, and Groups

Sybase Control Center includes predefined login accounts and roles.

In Sybase Control Center, a login account identifies a user who can connect to the application. An account may have roles that specify the tasks the user is allowed to perform.

Sybase Control Center is designed to delegate user authentication to the operating system or to an LDAP directory service. Delegation requires some configuration, however, so Sybase Control Center comes with two predefined login accounts. Sybase recommends using the predefined accounts only for installing and setting up Sybase Control Center. These accounts are not intended for use in a production environment.

Predefined accounts

A role is a predefined profile that can be assigned to a login account or a group. Roles control the access rights for login accounts. Sybase Contol Center comes with predefined roles that are intended for use in production environments.

Predefined roles

sccUserRole Provides nonadministrative access to Sybase Control Center. Required for every user.
