Adding a User to the Security Database

Go Up to Configuring Users

Use the AddUser method along with the following properties to add a user to the InterBase security database (admin.ib by default).

TIBSecurityService properties

Property	Purpose
UserName	User name to create; maximum 31 characters
Password	Password for the user; maximum 31 characters, only first 8 characters are significant
FirstName	Optional first name of person using this user name
MiddleName	Optional middle name of person using this user name
LastName	Optional last name of person using this user name
UserID	Optional user ID number, defined in /etc/passwd, to assign to the user
GroupID	Optional groupID number, defined in /etc/group, to assign to the user
SQLRole	Optional role to use when attaching to the security database; for more information on roles in InterBase, refer to “ANSI SQL 3 roles” in the Operations Guide.

The following code snippet allows you to set user information in Edit components, and then adds the user with the AddUser method.

try
  UserName := Edit1.Text;
  FirstName := Edit2.Text;
  MiddleName := Edit3.Text;
  LastName := Edit4.Text;
  UserID := StrToInt(Edit5.Text);
  GroupID := StrToInt(Edit6.Text);
  Password := Edit7.Text;
  AddUser;
finally
