Access Control Database (acces)
The acces database (often located at /bases/acces/acces) defines the User Profiles and permissions within the system. It interacts closely with the users database to determine what an operator can do after logging in.
Purpose
While the users database stores the login (username/password), the acces database defines the roles (e.g., "Cataloger", "Administrator", "Loan Operator").
Structure Overview
Each record in this database typically represents a Profile.
| Tag | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Profile Code | The internal code used to link users to this profile (e.g., adm, cat). |
| 10 | Profile Name | Human-readable name (e.g., "System Administrator"). |
| 20 | Module Access | Defines which modules (Central, Circulation, Acquisitions) are visible. |
| 30 | Database Access | List of databases this profile can access. |
| 40 | Permissions | Granular permissions (e.g., dataentry, dbadmin, stats). |
:::info Security This is arguably the most critical database for system security. It should be backed up regularly and restricted from general access. :::
