Task

For database options that can be set at either level, when set at the user level, the setting overrides the current value for that user only. When set it at the database level, the value becomes the new default, and is applied to any existing users who have not had the option overridden at the user level.

For information on the level at each option can be set and the system privilege required, in the SAP Sybase IQ 16.x documentation, see the alphabetical list of Database options in IQ-product-name Reference: Building Blocks, Tables, and Procedures.

In the Perspective Resources view, select the resource, and select Resource > Administration Console.
In the left pane, expand IQ Servers > Security > Role-Based, and then select Users.
Select a user from the right pane and either:
- Click the arrow to the right of the name and select Options, or
- From the Administration Console menu bar, select Resource > Options.
A list of the current setting for each option appears.
To change a setting, click in the Setting column of the option and enter the new value.
Do one of:
- Click OK to update any changes to the database and exit the properties view.
- Click Apply to update any changes to the database, but remain in the properties view.
- Click Cancel to cancel any changes not updated to the database and exit the properties view.
