This document describes the security facilities provided by Adabas and its subsystems.

Adabas Role-based Security (ADARBA) provides facilities for controlling access to database resources; for example:

• Restricting the execution of an Adabas utility;

• Restricting access to data via Adabas commands.

Adabas Password Security (ADASCR) provides facilities for controlling access and update to Adabas files; for example:

• Restricting user read and/or update requests on the basis of a whole file;

• Restricting user access to individual records within a file.

Ciphering prevents the unauthorized analysis of Adabas container files.

The following topics are covered:

• Adabas Role-Based Security (ADARBA)
