If you want to create users with different levels of access and capabilities to manipulate a database within an organization, what issues must you keep in mind? Why is user security important to organizations? How should you manage security and permissions within a database using roles?

 Issues that are important:

System security

System integrity

Data security

Data access

Why security is important:

same as above- to control access to information

How should you manage secuirty/permissions:

system privileges- gain access to the database

object privileges - manipulate the content of database objects, such as views, tables, procedures

schema - collection of objects(tables, sequences and views)

using roles(--named group of related privileges that can be granted to the user- a user can have access to several roles or several users can be assigned to the same role) helps to control the access to specific db tables.  Using roles can allow users the controlled ability to view only, make and commit changes or update only.
