You're managing database permissions. How can you balance security and user accessibility effectively?
Ensuring your database is both secure and accessible can feel like a tightrope walk. Here are some practical strategies to help you maintain this balance:
- Implement role-based access control (RBAC): Assign permissions based on roles to limit access to sensitive data.
- Regularly review permissions: Conduct periodic audits to ensure users have the appropriate level of access.
- Use multi-factor authentication (MFA): Add an extra layer of security by requiring more than one form of verification.

To have balance security and user accessibility: Each team with business justification for access provisions on enterprise database should have access control based on department and job function. A unit should have access to the schema owned by the unit or department not global access. Database administrators alone should have global access to all schemas. Data Manipulation Language, DML, that is, read, write, update and delete rights should only be give to database administrator team members. Service accounts are to be documented with process owners responsibility and accountability. Privilege Account Management solution, PAM should be implemented as a standard for applicable service accounts/credentials.

Grant only necessary permissions: This fundamental principle dictates that users should be granted only the minimum permissions required to perform their job duties. Regularly review permissions: It is identified instances where employee accounts remain active even though the employees no longer work for the company. We need to identify and deactivate these accounts(SQL_USER, Entra ID, Windows user, Windows group). Restrict user access to data they own: Implement Row-Level Security (RLS) and Column-Level Security to restrict user access to only the data they are authorized to view and modify. Regular Audit and monitor: Auditing and monitoring can help to identify suspicious behavior or excessive access attempts by users.

Pour équilibrer sécurité et accessibilité dans la gestion des permissions d'une base de données, ma stratégie repose sur trois principes fondamentaux : le principe du moindre privilège, la segmentation des accès, et la surveillance active.

You generally want to give people the least permissions required to do their job (ie sales agents don't need admin rights to everything). Set permissions according to user roles/job function. If they don't use it, they don't need access to it. Multifactor authentication is a must. It'll keep accounts secure even if passwords are compromised.

just make your database local to the server, why should you clients have access to the database?, people love making things way too complicated
