CodeBase Administrator Utility
CodeBase Administrator is a utility that makes it easy to manage many of the new features implemented in CodeBase client/server. For example, you can create and edit accounts, add and change file privileges, run reports on user connections, disconnect users from the server, and much more.
The major features of CodeBase Administrator are presented below:
Accounts
The basic security object of the CodeBase server is the user account. You can use CodeBase Administrator to manage the following aspects of user accounts:
- Create, edit and delete accounts
- Set basic file access privileges for accounts
- Set extended file access privileges for accounts on one or more tables
- Create account-based Internet firewalls using IP address login restrictions
- Determine security clearance for accounts
- Display reports on all accounts

Privileges
In addition to connection security, accounts also define a default set of file access rights. When default rights are inadequate for a given account in relation to one or more table(s), you can create customized privileges with CodeBase Administrator. These file access privileges extend the basic privileges and give you maximum flexibility in providing user access to server files. You can use CodeBase Administrator to add, edit and delete privileges, and to report on the current set of privileges recognized by the server.
