User Groups

The CREATE USER function includes a SET GROUPS group_list syntax.

How do I create a group and how are groups used ?

Is there any documentation on GROUPS ?

Thanks

Re: User Groups

Hi Duncan,

The purpose of the USER GROUP syntax is to attach a tag to the user. 
Currently the only meaningful use of the syntax is to allow the 
inclusion of a user into the 'secure access' group which grants the user 
rights to create and delete users and modify some of the system tables.

Re: User Groups

I take it there is no way to create groups with specific access  
rights and then to add users to these groups ?

Re: User Groups

Hi,

Not at this time, however the username and password itself can act as a 
group since all access rights are tied to a username.  I'm not sure an 
extra level of indirection where groups would grant user rights would be 
userful in Mckoi, however the possibility of adding something like this 
has come to mind.
