Managing Database Roles
140
Blocking Access by a Group or User
When you are trying to block access by a whole group, it is not sufficient to change the user
rights for the user group to NoAccess; individual users who have rights assigned to them
specifically or through memberships in other user groups could still log in.
To block members of an entire group:
1. In the Manage Database Roles view, in the Database pane, select the project from which you
want to block users.
2. In the User/Group pane, expand the group.
3. Select each user, and in the Roles pane select No Access.
4. Click Set Role.
To prevent a user from accessing all databases:
t In the User Management view, deselect all authentication providers available to a user.
Managing Special Access Folders
If necessary, you can allow a user to access a specific folder that they otherwise would not have
access to. For example, if a new user is assigned the No Access role for the Projects folder, you
can allow access to a particular project within the folder.
To allow access to a Special Access folder:
1. In the Manage Database Roles view, set the No Access role for the specific user on the
top-level folder that you want to be hidden (see
“Setting or Changing a General Role
Assignment” on page 137
).
2. On the item for which the user needs access, set the role to Read (or higher).
The “Folder is not visible” dialog box opens, telling you how applying the role to the
selected location will affect the user’s rights on other folders.
