Administration

Security administration is concerned with managing the granting and revoking of permissions among users, groups, roles, and any provider-specific object (data or code). In OLE DB, data providers that support commands can process security administration requests formulated by consumers by using SQL GRANT and REVOKE statements.

Future Direction

Future versions of OLE DB will define interfaces to enable data providers that do not support commands to expose methods to get and set permissions among users, objects, and groups in a provider-specific manner.
