public interface ISQLPrivilege
extends Serializable

Provides access to members for granting and revoking privileges to database users.

Remarks

The ISQLPrivilege optional interface provides information about the permissions you have on a database object and also the ability to change the permissions for other users. It only applies to those datasets that are stored within an ArcSDE geodatabase. It applies to feature datasets, feature classes, tables, relationship classes, raster datasets, and raster catalogs. ISQLPrivilege cannot be used on datasets contained within a feature dataset, as permissions are managed at the feature dataset level.

The esriSQLPrivilege enumeration defines values that can be used with ISQLPrivilege:

Enumeration esriSQLPrivilege	SQL Privileges
1 - esriSelectPrivilege	Select
2 - esriUpdatePrivilege	Update
4 - esriInsertPrivilege	Insert
8 - esriDeletePrivilege	Delete

The values may be bitwise OR'd together if more than one privilege applies (note that this is equal to summing the integer values). For example, if the SQLPrivileges property returns a value of 9, this would mean that you have select and delete permission on the dataset, but not insert or update. A value of 15 indicates full privileges.

The last parameter on Grant is for specifying whether or not the user will have the ability to grant privileges to other users.

Address locators only support esriSelectPrivilege.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Method Detail

getSQLPrivileges

int getSQLPrivileges()
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException

The database privileges.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The privileges

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

grant

void grant(String userName,
           int privileges,
           boolean withGrant)
           throws IOException,
                  AutomationException

Grants privileges for the database user.

Description

The esriSQLPrivilege enumeration defines privieges that that can be granted with ISQLPrivilege:

Enumeration esriSQLPrivilege	SQL Privileges
1 - esriSelectPrivilege	Select
2 - esriUpdatePrivilege	Update
4 - esriInsertPrivilege	Insert
8 - esriDeletePrivilege	Delete

The values may be bitwise OR'd together if more than one privilege applies (note that this is equal to summing the integer values). The dataset name could be a feature dataset, in which case the user would receive privileges on all the contents of the feature dataset.

If TRUE, the withGrant parameter denotes that the user may grant access privileges to other users.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Parameters:

userName - The userName (in)

privileges - The privileges (in)

withGrant - The withGrant (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

revoke

void revoke(String userName,
            int privileges)
            throws IOException,
                   AutomationException

Revokes privileges for the database user.

Remarks

The esriSQLPrivilege enumeration defines privieges that that can be revoked with ISQLPrivilege:

Enumeration esriSQLPrivilege	SQL Privileges
1 - esriSelectPrivilege	Select
2 - esriUpdatePrivilege	Update
4 - esriInsertPrivilege	Insert
8 - esriDeletePrivilege	Delete

The values may be bitwise OR'd together if more than one priviege applies (note that this is equal to summing the integer values). The dataset name could be a feature dataset, in which case the user would no longer have privileges on the contents of the feature dataset.

Parameters:

userName - The userName (in)

privileges - The privileges (in)
