Creating an OAT group with read-only privileges
Create a group of database server connections in the HCL OpenAdmin Tool (OAT) for Informix® whose members can view information at a server, but cannot modify it.
Important: Read-only groups prevent users from
modifying a server; they do not prevent users from accessing potentially
sensitive data contained within the server. Limit membership of read-only
groups to users who are authorized to view the detailed data at the
server.
For more information about the restrictions for read-only groups, see Read-only group restrictions.
To create a group with read-only privileges:
- On the OAT Admin menu, click .
- In the Group Name field, enter an alphanumeric name of the group.
- In the Password field, enter an alphanumeric password.
- To specify that the group has read-only privileges, select Read Only.
- Click Add to save the group information and add the group.
Next add server connections to the group. See Creating a server connection
