Securing and Administering Access - Groups
(Page 3 of 11 )
Set Up Group Accounts
Setting up group accounts involves choosing the appropriate groups for your application based on the tasks assigned to the users. In the next dialog box, shown in Figure 9-4, you can view which permissions are assigned to specific security groups, and then decide how to assign the users to the different groups. A unique group ID is assigned to each group by the Security Wizard.
Figure 9-4: The security group accounts provide specific
permissions to their members.
CAUTION The default Users group provides access to all objects in a database. Everyone who has a copy of Access is automatically a member of the Users group and will have the same permissions applying to all open databases. |
- Select a group in the group list to read the description of the permissions in the Group Permissions area. For example, Figure 9-4 shows the permissions granted to the New Data Users group.
- Select the check boxes for the groups you want to include in the security model.
- Click Next.
- The next Security Wizard dialog box, shown in Figure 9-5, allows you to assign some permissions to the Users group but strongly recommends against that. Choose No, The Users Group Should Not Have Any Permissions.
Figure 9-5: The Security Wizard recommends not giving the Users group any permissions.
