CONTROL

This box displays a setting that indicates whether the group referenced on the Database page has the CONTROL privilege on tables selected in the Table column. To change the setting, click on the down arrow and select the setting that you want. You can select:

Yes

Grants the CONTROL privilege.

No

Initially means that the group referenced on the Database page doesn't have the CONTROL privilege on the selected table or tables. To cancel a request for the CONTROL privilege on a table, select the table and change the setting from Yes or Grant to No.

With the CONTROL privilege on a table, a user:

• Acquires all other privileges on the table as well -- SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, INDEX, and REFERENCES

• Can grant these other privileges to other users of the table

• Can drop the table

• Can execute the RUNSTATS utility against the table and its indexes

If you select multiple tables for which you specified different settings (for example, Yes for one table andNo for the others), the CONTROL box is blank. But the settings that you specified remain in effect.
