Kdb+ Server User Permissions
A commercial module is available from timestored to implement user security ontop of kdb+. qStudio provides the interface shown below for configuring user access permissions.
Overview
User Permissions allows placing users into groups and restricting groups access to q variables and system calls.
- All users belong to a group
- Groups have a type that dictates their access level
- Groups can also have white-lists and black-lists to permit or deny them access to any q variable.
- If a user is in multiple groups, their action is permitted if it would be permitted by any group.
Group Types
- Super-Users - Have no restrictions
- Power-Users - Permitted access all entities except those specified in black list.
- Users - NOT permitted access to any entities other than those in white list.
