Managing Database Users and Roles
A Server User or Database Creator must be given permissions for a database by a Server Administrator
before they can access the GIS layers in the database in XMap. The default database role is XMap User.
The table below shows the functionality that is available for each of the role types; XMap User, XMap
Edit, XMap Checkout Creator, XMap Administrator, or XMap Owner. Database Creators are automatically
assigned XMap Owner roles on the databases they create. Server Administrators (and Computer
Administrators where the SQL server resides) are automatically assigned XMap Owner roles on all
databases on the server.
