I have to control access to various parts of my program.

How does one do this.

Could one use ROLES / USER / PASSWORD logins to
restrict access.

What will happen if a USER logs in with a ROLE that is not assigened to the
user.

I would think that roles are the way to accomplish this.

Most of the Buttons in my applciation is controled via an ActionList so base
apon the ROLE I could disable/enable the appropriate Actions.

Is this required since an Exception will be thrown if you try to access
things
that are not allowed.

I have added the IBSecurity service to my application,
dreadfull since it is slow, but never the less I now have an Admin Module
that can add and delete users. and Assign a ROLE to a USER.

I am YET to discover how one can determine the ROLE that is assigned to a
USER.

Any insight links documents .. ANY help is appreciated.. I am unable to find
any information in my delphi books or
on the web.

Thanking you
Wayne Forrest
