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. :(
Has anyone got an idea on how to issue user rights i.e. one person can write to a certain table whilst another can only read the same table. Ive had a good search but unable to find anything! If anyone has a good thread or website I would be most grateful!
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have designed a database in my station under my server login (I am admin). I want another user in company's server to have limited access but not 100% read only (some read and right access). It is always read only for other users in the server. And also the database can not be opened on more than one station simeltaneously.
Can you help me there.
Thanks,
Greg
Hi! How do I create a user to have modify privileges and all other user to just have read-only access?
Any help is greaty appreciated.

Hi together.
I have a problem getting this error message "Cannot update. Database or object is read-only" in my Access form application.
The funny thing is, when i run this program under a Administrator account, it's working...but its not working with the User account.
Of course the User hast permission to this folder, it's just a folder on the "C:" drive.
Is there a special right i have to modify that the user can work on it?
thanks

As 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.
Why the new format .accdb does not support user-level security? I know Access 2007 still supports the old format .mdb, but why is it deprecated in the new one? Does microsoft want us to buy SQL Server instead of Access to support user-level security?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHas anyone seen any good links to explain why Microsoft discontinued User Level Security in Access 2007? If so can you post the links. There is a debate at my work and I want to get all the infomation possible. It is my understanding that the beefed up the encryption on the standard password so the did away with ULS.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a question about user level security / access control.For my database I have a back-end containing the tables and a front-end with forms, queries and everything. I have set up the access user level security.Dependent from the access level of my users, some front-end options will be hidden and some queries retrieve only part of the data. For example: I have a form to calculate clients' end prices. A vendor can only see prices for his own clients, not for other vendor's clients.
BUT: to make the query work, all users need access to the tables and the back-end must be stored in a public place, right? Now all vendors can just open the back-end and see all information.Maybe protect the BE with a password and store this in the queries?
I have user security level setup with username and password.I have set forms and tables etc to security levels.what i am having trouble with is setting user security levels to command buttons on the switchboard.Example if you sign in Mary Jones and you click on the command button (open Tom Smith switchboard) button on the main switchboard and your not tom smith you get a message access denied.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If Forms!frmLogin!cboUser.Column(4) <> 2 Then
MsgBox "you cant open this form"
[code]...
it is a switchboard page. and putting CoCmd.OpenSwitchboardPage that does not work either..when you look at the event on click of the command button a macro opens up but I dont see how you can edit it.
I'm a SQL Server DBA and have a few Access 2010 Db's to look after and occasionally have to make amendments to (as is the case today). I've been asked to apply permissions to certain users of the Access database whereby users in a group we're calling 'Viewer' only have read permission and users in another group called 'Writer' (original I know!) have both read and write permission.
The database is form driven (i.e. no-one directly accesses and amends the tables in the database), the file is saved with a .mdb extension.
I've played around with the 'Manage Users & Permissions' in the File Menu however these don't seem to do what I need them to and only result in having to input a user and password to access the database on start-up.
I dont know if this is possible, but i need to add different access rights to a database.
I finish my summer placement in 2 weeks and need to set the database up so that all employees can look at the database but only one can modify it. I know how to do it in excel but i cant seem to get it to work in access. Any suggestions. :p
I've read and gone though quite a few of the scrips and examples for creating logins and security and i'm getting to the stage when i need to have good understanding of the different methods.
Some of the examples whilst create a user login do not really allow for security within the database whilst the build in security wizard would appear to offer that functionality.
I am thinking that I will use the Workgroup file and that method. My question is am i able to utilise the fact that if a person 'AdamA' logs onto the database which is built into the workgroup security file. am I then able to take 'AdamA' to populate a table which records actions by a user? (I can't seem to find any thread or book reference to doing this)
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 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
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a small problem here
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 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
