Indeed it is often critical to give triggers rights. See the
IB6 documentation, Language Reference - "GRANT" statement for details.

I am not sure that faq item you are referring to. It is possible to
maintain user information directly using the AlterUser method of
TIB_Connection.

The reason why you may need some server based service is if you also
want to alter the rights of such people over the particular database.
IBs implementation of privileges (GRANT/REVOKE) is setup so that every
issue of a grant is owned by the person that executes the grant - this
is often undesireable as it can make things quite difficult to
maintain later.
