Hi,

I just put up a Pervasive 2000i installation on a Win2k server. My question
is, can our programmers get access to the Pervasive Monitor without giving
them domain admin rights? I can connect just fine but when connecting as a
regular users I get "login failed". On our Netware installations,
non-admins have access to the monitor.

Thank you
Phil Wong

Yes it can be configured like NetWare to allow "Pervasive_Admin" users
database "administrative" rights without giving them general "admin"
rights. By default anybody with admin rights on the server is
automatically given Pervasive Admin rights.
Anybody put in the "Pervasive_Admin" group is also given
administrative rights.
If the Win2K server is a domain controller, you have to give the
Pervasive_Admin group "log on local" rights for this to work otherwise
no special rights are required.
The group also requires that the user be added directly to the group.
Seems the database engine just checks the members of the group.
As it is not an actual permissions issue it does not cascade groups
like giving regular permissions.
