Data Management (DMS) provides the metadata access control feature. You can enable this feature to allow only users who have permissions on an instance or a database to view information about and access the instance or database. This topic describes how to enable metadata access control for an instance or a database in DMS.
Prerequisites
Background information
After you enable metadata access control for an instance or a database, only users
who have permissions on the instance or database can view information about and access
the instance or database. This further enhances data security.
Note In DMS, permissions on an instance or a database include the query, export, and change
permissions. If you have one of these permissions on an instance or a database, you
have permissions on the instance or database. You can view the following information
if you have permissions on a database:
- Information about the database. You can search for the database in the search box at the top of the left-side navigation pane or in the search box at the top navigation bar. You can also search for the database in the search box on the Permission Application Ticket page.
- Information about the instance to which the database belongs.
