Abstract
Methods, program products, and systems for managing database access privileges using administration groups are described. Administrative functions for managing a database server and administrative functions for managing collections of databases can be separated. Groups of databases can be created on the database server. Tasks for adding and managing multiple databases can be delegated from a server administrator to one or more group administrators who can manage one or more groups of databases. The groups of databases can be stored in various home folders, each home folder corresponding to a group. Management rights on the databases can be determined by the home folders in which the databases are located.
