Hi
In my employeemanagement database there is a table named empattendances which is used to enter the employees attendances, Is there any way to lock the table empattendances which prevents the employees to change their attendance details

Thanks and Regards
Anu Palavila

Are the values Entered manually ?

Its best you secure your server and enable access via a frontend whereby you have a management system/application. Thats how best its done

ya the attendance marking is done through a C#.net application in to a database which have username and password for the sqlserver

but some of the employees know this username and password since they are working on some other databases in the same server

how to restrict access to only some people with sufficent rights only for this database in the server or only the table empattendances



Thanks and Regards

dont give users direct update,insert rights to tables. create stored procedure for insert/update and give execute permission only for those who really need to change data. for others just give select rights alone.

I agree,
I advice put your logic in the c# app, you need a management system of some sort in your office, whereby different users DB have different roles/permissions
