User Authorization

The authorization mechanism in Sybase Control Center employs login accounts and task-based roles.

Access to Sybase Control Center is controlled by login accounts. You grant permissions to a login account by assigning predefined roles that 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. Component product modules assign some roles automatically.
