Hey
When i implement user security on my access database at home with user ID's and passwords, i need to take this database and copy it into another computer at work. However, when i open my access database on other computers at work, there is no prompt for a login password or user ID.
Why is this so?
Thanks
Hi Guys
I am begining to create a IT support database for my company. I have never really needed to use secuirty for the other projects that i have completed but this one is a bit different. i have used the security wizard to create the users and groups but would like to get the basis of the security correct before i go any further.
My question is how do i configure it so that users can only update or change or delete thier own entries apart from me who could alter anything. Do i begin now when i am setting up the tables or is it a bit more complex and would require checks during accessing forms etc.
Any help and advice would be great
Many Thanks

Hi,
I setup a Security. And different user,
then it creates 2 files: Account.bak, and Secured.mdw
I can open it, but it cannot be opened on another computer, why??
I already setup.
Thanks.
Well,
I am currently looking into some of the security aspects of Access, as I am still not yet sure how i'll be designing a new database program, (whether to use Delphi to link to the database or run the database through Access itself) however, I was wanting to look into the security aspect of Access itself as part of my education and decision making process. Now I have deduced (correctly?) that some of the user/group access rights are based on the NT/2k/XP User/Group permissions etc, yet I was wondering if there was a little more to it than that.
In some ways I would like the application (through access or otherwise) to initialize with a logon prompt, that would ask for username and password. The database would internally?? retain the password information for security rights. I'm not sure if i'm thinking this through correctly, so i decided to come here for a few pointers in the right direction.
I'd like to set up internal to the database a set of groups and users with different levels of security. I don't want them based on the XP user account passwords and such, but just an internal database login. This would allow, to some degree, a specific master group to add / remove users from the database, as well as control user access rights to the database internally.
More or less, I want the database itself to be self-contained with all security and access rights, instead of basing them off of some external NT based security information.
So to my actual questions:
Is this possible?
Where would I start looking to set this up?
thanks

Hey, when i set up user security at home on a database and save this database to my USB memory stick, i then take this memory stick to be open on another different computer at the internet cafe. However, when i open the database on another different computer there is no prompt for log in user names and passwords. This is not what i want.
Why is this so?
Thanks for the help
Hello everyone.
Not sure if this is possible...but I hope it is!
I have created user security with limited access for specific groups to certain forms in my database.
However, when a user attempts to open one of the restricted forms a Generic Microsoft Access Message Box opens. Am I able to customise this box so that the box Heading is not "Microsoft Access" and so that the user is not offered the option of "Help"?
Really all I want is a box that says;
"You do not have the permission to open this form."
I only want an "Ok" box as an option (not the "Help" box as well)
Any help would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
Hi, I need to add a security feature to my database. Basically I want different users to access the database with different permissions. I want a "basic user" to be only able to access the the forms with their respective default settings. I want an "admin" to obviously be able to access all the content and edit the design. I know I can do this with User-Level Security somehow, but i've tried it and it isn't working like I want it to. DOes anyone know or have any experience with this security feature.

I was creating a human resource database for a large firm. The number of records ranges from 5000 to 6000. Initially everything went well. My designs and development were highly appreciated. But now because of just security my DB is being rejected. The problem aroused because of the security issues. I tried using the Logging On database as presented here in the Code section of this Site. But it was completely rejected by the authorities. They wanted something like following
1.The administrator has the power to give the user special privileges like mentioned in the User level security i.e making users like read-only, backup, data entry etc
2.The administrator has the power to block any user from opening any form whenever he likes.
When I presented them with the user level security as in Ms Access they were completely lost and they find it really difficult to use. Further more the names of the forms as I have used are starting with “frm” where as they want only the simple names of each form. If I start changing my form names I would complete mess up my DB
Please advice what should I do to make the user level security easy for them to use.
Or how can I develop my own security system in which user can use my above mentioned points.
I have implemented user level security on a database and it seems to work fine. The issue is that every other database on that computer seems to have inherited the permissions. I only want these permissions to refer to that one database.
What have I done wrong?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a question.
When we create a user-level security, we can do it of the Tools-Security-> user-level security.
However,
can we use VBA code to create user-level security? Yes/No.
I just curiously want to know.
Because I just know that VBA can update the user-level security.
Please let me know, thanks.
I need to implement some type of security on my database to limit the forms/reports users can access. When implemented it will be a split database on a network. I'd like to set it up so only certain users can edit/add data on certain forms. Also I want to have more than one user be able to edit/add data at the same time. I'm confused as what I need to do to set up this type of security. I found another post on this forum by Oldsoftboss (Dave) that gave a good, working example of a database with user login screens and different user security levels. My questions are:
1. Can I use his system in place of the built-in Access security?
2 . Do I need to implement both? If I don't use or change the access rights in
Access security, won't everybody be logging in with "Admin" rights?
3. What do I need to do to let multiple users work in the database at the same
time? I've already changed the database to "shared".
4. I don't want the users being able to change the forms, queries or reports
so I'm distributing an MDE file. Is there anything else I need to do so
users can't access the "design" button?
Needless to say, this whole security thing confuses me. Any help would be appreciated.

I need to launch the database on the server as a multi user. Only one station can change the designs and major issues. But other stations have the right to add/edit/delete data. I tried that through security account and permission. It works on the admin, but not with other user login.
How can I link the access user to my server user login?
Tanks a million. :(
I want to put 2 Dbs on a network server. Below are the groups that can get to each directory.
Directory Students: Students, faculty, few staff
Directory Staff: all Staff
I will have a separate workgroup for each Db because each group of users is so different. Each Db will have all deselected user permissions and assigned groups and group permissions.
Questions:
-Could a computer programmer student get into any code in the Db in the Students directory, even tho they would not have user-level permission to do so?
-Could a student somehow affect in any way the other Db in the Staff directory?
In other words, could somebody use the Db in the Students directory to cause trouble anywhere else in our network?
Thanks
Hello guys
i want to prepare User level security for accessing database/tables/fors and reports.
So can anyone have step wise procedure? I am using wizard, but am not able to set up.
Thank very much:)
I need to give different users different levels of access to my database.
I ran the user level security wizard and have correctly created user accounts. I chose to make my account a member of the Admins group, and that appears to have worked in that I can go into User and Group Accounts and create accounts, remove passwords, change group membership etc.
However, I am no longe able to access the User Level Security wizard. Access gives me a message when I try, saying that I need to be a member of the Admins group to control security settings.
Can anyone confirm if this is correct or if I have done something wrong? I don't want to let my users start using the database and then find out I've actually locked myself out of some vital settings at a later date!
Thanks in advance,
Gary
I created my user group in access and I want each user to reach different datas in the same database. I can do that for tables, forms, and reports and I also did bat I am just asking how each user can see different datas in the same table? If anybody can help thanks from now. :)

Hi everyone
I'm relatively new to MS Access, and I have no experience dealing with workgroups and user-security.
I have a database that I need to put on the company network. The database will be accessed by many different users and computers. How do I set up the database so that only certain users can modify data, and others can only read and display data?
I looked at http://www.databasedev.co.uk/access_security.html
but wasn't sure if the steps outlined applied to my situation.
Should I use the security wizard? What are the pros and cons of the wizard?
Thanks in advance!!!
I have a module that authenticates users and controls who has full or read-only access to certain forms. My problem is this; things such as combo boxes and checkboxes that are meant to be used for any user are disabled in read-only mode.
I was thinking that I could use the tag property on my controls to establish which controls should always be enabled and then using my module to dynamically enable/disable the appropriate controls each time I load a form. Can anyone help me do this?
Basically all I really need to know is how to address the form in a module (since I can't use "Me.Controlname" and I don't know which form is being worked on until runtime. And also I don't want to lock records, since this won't allow other users to view the tables being used.
Also I don't want to use the Enable property because I don't want the data to be "greyed out". I could use the Locked property, but that poses the problem of multiple users trying to access the same table. So is there a way I can set certain fields to read-only without making the whole form read-only or locking the data?
By the way, I am working in Access 97
Here's a pseudo-code example of what I want
for each Cntrl in PassedForm.Controls
if Cntrl.Tag <> "AlwaysEnable" then
Disable Cntrl
end if
next
I have a database that keeps track of vositors to our center. A student recently complained because after signing in he hit pageup and his social security was displayed.
Students enter thier number and pick a subject and class from drop downs and thenclick sign in.
Is there something I can put in the Onclick event that would not allow a new user to view the previous users info?
Thanks

Thank you.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOkay, wonderful gurus! I'm getting ready to split a db and I'm seeking advice or counsel from you. I know how to do this, but want to make sure no one out there has some mystical secret to reveal. What do you think I need to know before I do it? Assume that I've done this before and am looking for little "good to knows".
One MAJOR question I have is concerning the security involvement. I am going to assign a workgroup (security settings) to the db, and I'm wondering how to make sure that both ends are usable with security after the split. I know this is confusing, but I know how smart you all are and I'm hoping you know what I mean.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!

I have created a multi-user database and stepped through the security wizard to create accounts etc. The database also has VB code in it that calculates values for a text box based on values in the form.
The PROBLEM is that when I open the database which Auto Executes the form (with VB) to open, it halts with RunTime error 2147467259 which reads "You do not have necessary permissions to use the .mdb object".... then when I "Debug" this error it takes me to the VB code???? :confused:
The code works fine without security....
Thanks for any help

I moved my access database and not my user account do not have privelages. However, the group accounts they are linked to have been set-up correctly. Why would my group account privelages be ok, but when I look at each user individually they have no privelages set. I'm confused as to why this would be if the users are in the specific groups I have set-up.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAs I'm sure many of you know, Access '07 no longer supports user level security.
My question to you all is, how do you secure your DB's in '07? I just built a DB that stores patient data, and it needs to have some type of user authentication to gain access to it.
I know I can assign a general password to it, but I need each user to have their own username and password.
