Hi Andrew,

Robinhood has no integrated support of multiple users.

However, it has various features that can make multi-user management more convenient:

* from robinhood 2.5, you can reference environment variables in the config file.
So you can set the following values for db parameters:
        user = $RBH_DB_USER;
        password_file = $RBH_PASS_FILE;
and define the appropriate values in operators' environment
and in /etc/sysconfig/robinhood for robinhood daemon.

* You can also take advantage of the "%include" directive of config files, so you can put all the common configuration (shared between admin+operators) into includes/common.conf and have 2 separate config files : 1 for robinhood and admins, and 1 other for operators, that include the common part,
but have a different db username and password parameters.

Then you can use a different config file for the 2 communities:
- by using the -f option of robinhood commands
- by setting DEFAULT_CFG_VAR = <path to operator cfg file> in the operator environment and/or robinhood daemon

I hope this helps
Thomas

At the moment we have our db password file group readable to operations staff rather than all users.

Is there a way to alter the configuration so that the robinhood daemon uses a RW password and the end user tools just have a RO password that can be more open especially for summary info (detailed file info perhaps should be restricted)

Many thanks
Andrew
