This course will introduce you to database administration and security. You’ll learn why it’s so important to secure your databases. You’ll learn about user and user logins. You’ll also learn how permissions and roles can help secure your database. Finally, you’ll backup and restore a database.

Using the downloaded software with the sample database already created, you’ll add users that can access the database, and learn what permissions they can have and what those permissions allow them to do. You’ll gain a better understanding of what permissions you can use to allow or restrict a given user to do within the database while learning the importance of securing the data being stored. Finally, you’ll learn how to backup and restore a given database to ensure critical data is always available.
