DataBase - Permissions

Asked By webunit
18-Nov-09 09:19 AM
I have a split and secured database but even though I have managed to do this,
I am not entirely clear on where permissions, passwords, and the like are
stored.  My questions are:  Are object permissions stored with the object
(queries, forms and the like) in the front-end?  (This means a change in
object permissions requires re-issuing the front-end to users.)  Where are
user's passwords stored?  Exactly what is stored in the security.mdw file?
Thanks.

Object permissions are stored with the object in the frontend, so yes a
change to the permissions, is a change to the FE, requiring re-distribution.

Users' passwords are stored in the mdw file.

The mdw file stores Groups, Users, PIDs, passwords, membership (what
users in what groups).
