Represents a user account that has access permissions within a secured database.

Remarks

The Users collection of a Catalog represents all the catalog's users. The Users collection for a Group represents only the users of the specific group.

  • Identify the user with the Name property.

  • Change the password for a user with the ChangePassword method.

  • Determine whether a user has read, write, or delete permissions with the GetPermissions and SetPermissions methods.
