AuthorizationManager - Authorizing access to services and databases

AuthorizationManager provides access to services and databases under two providers:

  • CDBDSNAuthorizationProvider
    • DSNList—Edit a list of data source names and their authorized users.
    • Enabled—Enable and disable the DSN checks.
  • CDBRolesAuthorizationProvider
    • Enabled—Enable and disable the role authorization checks.
    • ServiceList—Edit the roles that are authorized to access available services.

By default, all users are authorized to access all services and databases. If IIS is configured for anonymous access, authorization checks are bypassed.
