How to manipulate user accounts
This topic tells you how to manipulate user accounts with Security Manager.

right-click a user and select New User from the shortcut menu.

Duplicating Users
dbForge Studio allows you to create a new user, based on the existing one. To do it, right-click a user in Security Manager, and then click Duplicate Object on the shortcut menu. The right part of the editor will contain a new user, that is an exact copy of the existing one except its name. Make changes to the user if you need and save it. Note that no user will be created until you save the changes.

If you want to discard changes, click Undo on the Security Manager toolbar. You can view SQL statements that should be executed to apply changes. To view them, click Script Changes on the Security Manager toolbar.
Deleting a User Account
