Came across a syntax today: INF_ROLE_SEP Could not find the documentation for it. What type of role does this syntax affect and how? regards, Joan

What type of role does this syntax > affect and how? <quote, IDS2000 Trusted Facility Manual, ch1-p9> On UNIX, the OSA should set the environment variable INF_ROLE_SEP to any value at installation time to enable role separation. If INF_ROLE_SEP exists, role separation is enabled. When role separation is not enabled, user informix can perform all administrative tasks, and no special groups are needed. For Windows NT, role separation is enabled through the Role Separation dialog box, which appears during installation. If the Enable Role Separation check box is checked in the Role Separation dialog box, the DBSA can specify different roles. For detailed information on roles and role separation, see Chapter 2. </quote> > > regards, > Joan
