Our database is Informix sql 3.2 running on SCO 3.2.2 The database and all tables are currently set to "GRANT DBA to PUBLIC" and has been fine when adding new users especially as they are restricted by menu access to 4gl programs. I am currently opening up the systems to make use of mail and shell programs for all users, but I am concerned that the databases could be left open to meddling and corruption. What is the best way to open the system, keep the flexibility for new user additions but maintain security for the database. Any ideas greatly accepted.
