Yes, GSEC isn;t for roles, it's for users, server wide. Roles are
database specific. There is no ability in gsec to create roles.

Little documentation? Hmmm - that'll upset the author of the gsec
manual, hang on, that was me! ;-)

The HTML manual for gsec is online at
http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/user_manuals/html/gsec.html

and you can download the pdf version at
http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/user_manuals/Firebird-gsec.pdf


There's lots more documentation, but never enough, at
http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/reference-manuals/ if you need anything else.


Cheers,
Norm.
