Hi all,

One small detail which I couldn't find either in IBO or in the newsgroup-archive, is the handling of user-security.

Say a certain user only has read-access(Or no access whatsoever) to a IB-table while others have full access.
What would be a good way to check & handle this on the client-side?

One method would be to read the database yourself (RDB$USER_PRIVILEGES I think it is) but then you would have to do this with almost every screen and it just feels like a waste of resource.

When I started I (wrongly) assumed that IBO would check the current rights in the database and adjust the controls accordingly. In case of the user with only read-access the components would not switch to edit-mode. But when I use a TIB_Query to access the table (And generate the Insert/Update/Delete SQL) it raises exceptions in case of too little rights.

I just have the feeling that there is an easier way to handle/access IB-rights on the client using IBO*

Any help / Pointers welcome
Cheers
