that the user has sufficient privileges to work with the data. If you use Oracle
Workspace Manager, you must use separate users to create the data store and
to access the data store, because locking is tracked by individual user and will
not be effective if everyone connects as the same data store user.
In FDO User Manager, you choose an FDO provider (page 2063) and connection
and then perform provider-specific tasks, including:
■ Adding, dropping, or listing users
■ Assigning, revoking, or listing roles and privileges
■ Granting, revoking, or listing access to data stores
NOTE Database users are not the same as AutoCAD Map 3D users, which are
managed separately (page 82).
