René vd Linden is in the Information Technology field for more than 12 years, starting out with helpdesk/desktop/server support at Polygram/Universal Music and ending up as a system administrator at Connexxion, a public transport organisation. At a customer with three Virtual Centers (VC), he needed a way to document the security roles and their permissions, and a easy/consistent way to apply these role/permissions to the other VC’s. So he created an Excel sheet to generate SQL files per role (incl. permissions), which can be imported directly in the VC (MS-SQL) Database to create the roles.
