Toad for DB2 7.4.1 - Installation Guide

Specify Sharing and Manage Privileges

When you publish an object to Toad Intelligence Central, you can specify sharing options. You can choose to keep the object private, make the object public, or share the object with a list of users you specify. After an object is published, you can alter the sharing and manage options at any time. Users with manage privileges to an object can alter the sharing and manage options.

Note: This feature requires access to a Toad Intelligence Central server.

To specify Sharing (Visibility) options for an object

  1. To specify Sharing options at the time you publish an object, in the Publish to Intelligence Central dialog, click the Sharing link to go to the Sharing settings page.
  2. To specify Sharing options for an existing object, in the Toad Intelligence Central Object Explorer select an object and click . The Alter Visibility dialog opens.
  3. In the Alter Visibility dialog (or Sharing settings page), select whether to share the object or keep it private. You can share the object with all users or define a select group of users. Review the following for additional information:

    Keep this data private

    Select to keep the object private.

    Share this data with any user

    Allow any user to manage this Data Table—Select this option to grant manage privileges to all users.

    Share this data with selected users

    Select this option to make the object available to a list of users you specify. Then use the arrows to add selected users (and groups) to the list in the right pane. You can include both individual users and groups.

    Note: Manage privileges allow the user to drop the object, lock the object, and modify the sharing options.
