Primary AuthID

This is the primary identifier for all users of an XDB Server. A Primary AuthID can be assigned to a process or program that requires access to XDB Server data.

• Used for logging in to an XDB Server.
• Appears as an identifier on server screens that are used to monitor activity of users.
• Used as the default for the AuthID portion of a database object's three-part name when the user creates the object. A different ID will become the default if the SET CURRENT SQLID command is issued or if a SecondaryID is defined.
• Determines privileges when a user attempts to access a database object. If a different ID is in effect (from issuance of a SET CURRENT SQLID command), that ID's privileges are available also. If the Primary AuthID belongs to a group, the privileges granted to the GroupID also are available to the user of the Primary AuthID. If a SecondaryID is defined, the Primary AuthID's privileges are not valid, but rather the SecondaryID's privileges take effect (along with its groups, if any).
