About Roles
A role is a vehicle for assigning data-access privileges to user IDs. On the Neoview platform,
data-access privileges are not granted to individual users. Users are granted a role, and roles are
granted privileges on database objects. In this way, all the users who are granted a role are
granted the privileges associated with the role.
The Neoview platform can have a maximum of 255 roles. Many users can be assigned to the
same Neoview role. It is also possible for the same user to be assigned to multiple roles. If you
have sufficient privileges, you can use HPDM or a set of commands in the Neoview Command
Interface (NCI) to create, associate, and manage Neoview users and roles.
For more information about users and roles, see the Neoview User Management and Security
Administration Guide.
