This Help topic describes features that are available in XMap
Professional, XMap GIS Editor, and XMap GIS Enterprise.


Once you add users to a server, you can give them access to the databases that are

on that server. Once a user is added to a database, an administrator can assign the
user's role for using the database (for example, XMap User, XMap Edit, XMap

Checkout Creator, XMap Administrator, or XMap Owner). You can add or remove
individual users or a Windows Group.
To Add a Database User
Use the following steps to give a user access to a particular database.

1. Click the GIS tab.
2. Click the Workspace subtab if it is not selected.
3. Click DB Manager to open Database Manager.
4. On the left side of the window (tree view), expand the server and databases

menus.

5. To add a user to an individual database, click a database in the tree view or in

the working view (right side).

OR
To add a user to multiple databases, in the working view (right side of the

window), hold the CTRL key on your keyboard while you click each of the
databases to which you want to add a user.

6. From the Database menu, click Add User.

The Add Users dialog box opens all of the users who have access to the

database's server.

7. Click to select a user from the Add Users dialog box. If you want to add

multiple users at once, press the CTRL key on your keyboard and click each

user.

8. Click OK.
9. On the left side of the window (tree view), expand the database's menu and

then click the Database Users option underneath it.

A list of all of the users who have access to the database displays on the right
side of the window.

10. To change a user's role for that database, find the name in the list, click the

role, and then select a new role (XMap User, XMap Edit, XMap Checkout
Creator, XMap Administrator, or XMap Owner) from the available drop-down

list. For definitions of each role, see Database User Roles.
