Repository

Visual Guard is a flexible and integrable security tool that manages authentication, permissions, and access rights management for your applications. A key component of Visual Guard is the “Repository”.

The Visual Guard Repository is a centralized database that stores all of Visual Guard’s security information. This includes user accounts, roles, permissions, permission sets, and user profiles, among other things. The repository can be created in either SQL Server or Oracle, providing flexibility depending on your database preferences or existing infrastructure.

Once created, the repository allows for efficient management and control of access rights across your applications. It enables administrators to define roles and permissions, assign them to users, and manage user profiles. Moreover, the repository is not just a static storage of information. It is a dynamic component of the Visual Guard system, allowing for updates and changes as your security requirements evolve.

In addition to explaining how to create, update, backup, restore, and move the repository, the documentation page also provides details on managing repositories in specific environments such as .NET, Java, PowerBuilder, and others. It also provides links to other sections of the Visual Guard documentation that may be useful for understanding and managing the repository.

In summary, the Visual Guard repository is a comprehensive and flexible solution for managing application security data. Whether you’re using SQL Server or Oracle, it provides the necessary tools to effectively control access and protect your applications. For a complete understanding, it is recommended to read the entire page and follow the provided links for additional information on specific topics.
