Role Assignment in Sybase Control Center for Adaptive Server

With Sybase Control Center version 3.1 and later, you no longer need to grant special roles for administrative or monitoring privileges on the Adaptive Server.

Sybase Control Center version 3.1 and later automatically assigns aseMonitorRole privileges to users who have mon_role privileges on an Adaptive Server, and lets them perform monitoring tasks on the server.

Sybase Control Center version 3.1 and later automatically assigns aseAdministratorRole privileges to users who have sa_role privileges on an Adaptive Server, and lets them perform certain administrative tasks from the Monitor view.

Sybase Control Center checks for role validation every 30 minutes. The monitor option is greyed out on the Perspectives window until the resource is authenticated. If you authenticate a resource without having mon_role privileges, Sybase Control Center warns you that you cannot perform monitoring tasks, or configure alerts on the server.

Note: If a role is revoked on the Adaptive Server from outside of Sybase Control Center, Sybase Control Center will not register the change till the next role-check occurs. However, as the monitoring or administrative role has been revoked on the Adaptive Server, the user will not be able to successfully execute such a task through Sybase Control Center. If a role is revoked on Adaptive Server from within Sybase Control Center, the change is registered immediately.
