Creating a login policy

Users and groups are also governed by appropriate login policies. A login policy is a set of rules that are applied when you create a database connection for a user or group. All new databases include a root login policy, which may not be appropriate for all users.

You can use the Login Policies wizard to define rules that apply when a user connects to a database. This section shows you how to create a login policy for access by members of a Sales group.
