Chapter 3 Installing AuthorIT 23
Step 5 - Export the JET Database to the SQL Server
SQL Server
Use the AuthorIT Administrator program to export the JET Library database to a SQL
Server Library database.
Note: On average, your library will double in file size when you export it to SQL
Server. You may need to allocate more file system space before exporting.
To Export a JET Library to SQL Server
1) From the main menu of the AuthorIT Administrator, choose Export. The Export
Database To SQL Server screen appears.
2) Enter the name of the server and the database.
3) To use a Trusted NT Connection to the database, make sure the ʺUse Trusted
Connectionʺ checkbox is ticked, then go to Step 5.
4) If youʹre not using a Trusted NT Connection to the database, make sure the ʺUse
Trusted Connectionʺ checkbox is blank, then enter the correct Login ID and
Password.
5) Choose the Export Now! button, and then make a cup of coffee while AuthorIT
exports the database. If itʹs a big database, you may even need to make several
cups.
Note: This functions requires that the you have at least db_dbadmin privileges on the
SQL Server database.
Step 6 - Create User Accounts and Assign Permissions
In each Library database, youʹll need to create Users and then assign security
permissions to them. We recommend setting up User Groups so you can restrict some
functions (such as maintaining styles and templates) to senior members of your team.
In particular, make sure you set up Users correctly in your default library, as all new
libraries based on that one will inherit its security settings. Note that user account
information is only for the library you added it to. Because users are connecting to
shared libraries, those security settings are available to each user.
