19. User Classes > Access > Database Access

The Database Access screen gives the administrator the ability to either grant or remove access to each database on a User Class basis. For example, in an academic library, it would be possible to grant access for a WilsonWeb science database to a science library and remove access for another User Class such as an art library where it would not be relevant. Granting or removing access to each database is done on a User Class basis.

This screen shows only the databases that the customer has access to. It then displays on a User Class basis both the current name of the database for the User Class, and whether or not that individual user class has access to that database; functionality within this page is separated.

First, click on the Access button. Several appropriate buttons will then appear on the left toolbar, including the Database Access button. Click Database Access Criteria.

Note: By default a new User Class is granted access to all of the databases available to the customer as a whole.

In order to Limit (or to restore) Database Access Rights, you must change the dropdown for a database from Granted to Not Granted. Then click the Save Access button so the access changes will be saved to the system.

Remember to assign User Class to a valid access type.

Note: The administrator cannot grant access to databases above and beyond those that come from the HW Wilson Access Control system.
