Getting Started with IBM Data Studio for DB2

Appendix B – Advanced integration features for Data Studio web console 343
repository database for tasks that require modifying data on the repository database, such
as job management.
The Can Do privileges on the connected database are required by default, and the Can Do
privileges on the repository database are not required. For example, only users with the
Can Manage Alerts privilege can modify the thresholds on the Health Alerts Configuration
page, but any user can schedule a job on a database. To configure the privilege
requirements for the web console, see B.3.2.3 Enable and disable privilege requirements.
B.3.2.1 Grant database privileges to the web console users
The Data Studio web console server typically monitors multiple databases from different
organizational units in an enterprise, so it is important that the users and privileges
boundaries defined in these databases are respected.
Data Studio web console lets you control the following privileges for users on each
database:
Can Monitor
This privilege is not used by Data Studio web console.
Can Manage Alerts
This privilege gives the user the right to set the alert thresholds and enable and disable
alert monitoring for a database. By default, this privilege is required.
To configure the web console to not require this privilege, see B.3.2.3 Enable and disable
privilege requirements.
For example, there are two databases calledSALES andPAYROLL defined in a system.
Just because the database administrator forPAYROLL is able to log in to the web console
doesn’t mean that she should have the ability to modify alert settings for theSALES
database.
However, if the database administrator for theSALES database would like to allow other
database administrators to edit alert configurations for theSALES database, he can grant
the Can Manage Alerts privilege to another database administrator using the Manage
Privileges page under Open -> Product Setup, as shown in Figure B.4 .
