i think it should work if you assign that user full-control access (NTFS) to that particular folder shared for database access. the user does not need to be an administrator.<br />
<br />
hope it helps,<br />

I'm sole administrator for a small Windows-based LAN (about 20 users). &nbsp;We have a legacy DOS database and a developer who's responsible for customizing the interface and maintaining the data/tables. &nbsp;He regularly works at night, and, in order to roll-out new code, he first needs all database files closed. &nbsp;He's asking for the ability to forceably disconnect users who are logged-in with database files open. &nbsp;What the easiest/best way I can modify his account so that he would have only that option and not full administrator rights?<br />
<br />
Or is there another tool that might better fit this situation?

I'm sole administrator for a small Windows-based LAN (about 20 users).  We have a legacy DOS database and a developer who's responsible for customizing the interface and maintaining the data/tables.

Or is there another tool that might better fit this situation?

How can I provide limited administrator rights to a developer?

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
