you have IBX components in Delphi 7, 2 component pages.
Read about them in Hepl, for example, on TIBDatabase.
There are also examples and demos in the Delphi 7 installation folder.
If you don't see that components in the IDE, 2 things may happen:
1. you need to run
insclient i -f gds32
from the BIN of Firebird installation to make gds32.dll from
fbclient.dll

2. you have not checked IBX (IBExpress) components during Delphi 7
installation.

read about SQL commands - GRANT and REVOKE.
And maybe you need to read about the whole concept about it,
because you asked that question.
This is common to (nearly) all SQL servers.

you can do this by several ways. One way is via IBX Admin components.
