Database Groups and Security
Role-based access control and direct user permissions form the security policies that determine which users
can access particular database groups and the actions that the users can perform. Database groups inherit
security policies from their organizations.
Organization administrators define the security policies for their organization, including user roles,
permissions, and privileges.
For example, an organization administrator creates a user role with permissions on database groups. These
permissions include create database, take database snapshots, and start or stop database. Those roles and their
associated permissions apply to each database group within the organization, and to each database within
each database group.
Chapter 3, “Managing Users and Roles,” on page 25 discusses the Data Director security model and explains
how you can use roles for fine-grained permission management.
Create a Database Group
Database groups contain sets of databases within an organization. Database groups enable grouping related
databases and provide efficient use of resources needed to provision and operate databases.
