Creating a Database Rule

Constraints

• The database operation audit is available only in the CBH professional editions.
• Database rules apply only to MySQL and Oracle databases for fine-grained permission control.

Prerequisites

You have the operation permissions for the DB Rules module.

Creating a Database Rule

1. Log in to the CBH system.
2. Choose Policy > DB Rules > DB Rules.
   Figure 1 DB Rules
   

3. In the upper right corner of the page, click New.
   

   You can also select a database rule and choose More > Insert to create a database rule. After the configuration is complete, a new rule is created.

4. Configure the basic information.
   Figure 2 New Command Rule
   

   Table 1 Basic information parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Rule Name	Name of the database rule. The rule name must be unique in the CBH system.
   Action	Action executed by the rule. The options are Disconnect, Reject command, Dynamic approval, and Permit. Disconnect: When a database rule is triggered, the system automatically disconnects the session. Reject command: When a database rule is triggered, the system directly rejects the command. Dynamic approval: When a database rule is triggered, the system directly rejects the command and requires an approval from the administrator. To continue the execution of the command, the system user needs to submit a ticket to the administrator for approval. Permit: When a database rule is triggered, the system allows the database operation commands to be executed.
   Period of validity	Effective time and expiration time of the rule
   Time Limit	Validity period of a rule

5. Click Next and start to relate the command rule to a rule set.

   Select a rule set. For details about command sets, see Managing Database Rule Sets.

   Figure 3 Selecting a rule set
   

6. Click Next and start to relate the database rule to one or more users or user groups.

   After a user group is related to a command rule, users automatically obtain the permissions of the command rule the instant they are added to the user group.

   Figure 4 Relate User
   

7. Click Next and start to relate the database rule to one or more accounts or account groups.

   After a database rule is related to an account group, accounts automatically obtain the permissions of the database rule the instant they are added to the account group.

   Figure 5 Relate Accounts
   

8. Click OK. You can then view the created rule in the rule list.
   During O&M, when a command rule is triggered, the system executes configured actions accordingly.

   

   Users in the Relate User and Relate User Group panes must have a role that has database ticket approval permissions assigned to them. Otherwise, users cannot view the database approval ticket module or submit a ticket to obtain required permissions.

Follow-up Operations

CBH gives you the ability to manage all database rules on the rule list page, including managing related users or resources, deleting, enabling, or disabling one or more command rules, and sorting command rules by priority.

• To quickly relate a command rule to more users, user groups, accounts, or account groups, select the rule and click Relate in the Operation column.
• To delete a command rule, select the rule and click Delete in the Operation column.
• To disable command rules, select the ones you want to disable and click Disable at the bottom of the list. When the status of those rules changes to Disabled, they become invalid.
• To change the priority of a command rule, select the rule and drag and drop it to an upper or lower position.
