Setting DBF table privileges
For each type of table operation (see the table below), specify the most restricted access level that can perform that operation.
Privilege |
Access granted |
READ |
View the table contents |
UPDATE |
Edit existing records in the table |
EXTEND |
Add records to the table |
DELETE |
Delete records from the table |
To set table privileges, select a value (1–8) for each operation (Read, Update, Extend and Delete) in the dialog box. Remember that lower access numbers indicate the greatest access; higher numbers indicate the greatest restriction.
Note
You cannot specify access levels that are logically incompatible. For example, you cannot prohibit Level 6 from having read access, and also permit Level 6 to have update access. To have update access, Level 6 also needs read access.
