Hi Immanuel,

i just checked your problem and i couldnt reproduce it, here is what i did:

Start the server as admin (with the flag -i) and execute the following steps:

create user test test grant none to test create database test <root/> grant write on test to test

Now login as test and run the following:

open test xquery insert node <test/> into root()

So it works for me, Andreas

Hi Immanuel,

1. the user just needs the "WRITE" permission, everything else would be a bug.

Maybe you could provide us an example.

2. grant create on <db> to <user> is an invalid command, because "CREATE" doesn't make

sense on an existing database. So the local permissions are just: none, read, write global permissions: none, read, write, create, admin

3. You could remove global permissions and just give local "WRITE" permission to the user:

grant none to <user> grant write on <db> to <user>

Now the user can just read/write on the specified database.

Hello, I wanted to let a user insert nodes into a database. Three related questions about that:

1. why does the user need "CREATE" permissions and not just "WRITE" permissions?
2. why does the pattern "grant create on <db> to <user>" yield the error "Invalid permissions specified", whereas "grant create to <user>" works?
3. how could I let user manipulate (e.g. inserting a node) only a specific database?

Thanks for help Immanuel _______________________________________________ BaseX-Talk mailing list BaseX-Talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de https://mailman.uni-konstanz.de/mailman/listinfo/basex-talk
