In Sybase Central, you can manage the remote permissions of both users and groups. Remote permissions allow normal users and groups to become remote users in a SQL Remote replication setup to exchange replication messages with the publishing database.

Granting remote permissions

You cannot grant remote permissions to a user until you define at least one message type in the database.

To grant remote permissions to a group, you must explicitly grant remote permissions to each user in the group. Remote permissions are not inherited by members of a group.

Revoking remote permissions

Revoking remote permissions reverts a remote user to a normal user. Revoking these permissions also automatically unsubscribes that user from all publications.

To grant remote permissions to users (Sybase Central)

1. Connect to the database as a user with DBA authority.

2. Click Users & Groups.

3. Right-click a user and then choose Change To Remote User.

After granting a user remote permissions, you can subscribe the user to publications.
