Setting up your database to use Veil2 is a fairly straightforward process, and can be done in the following steps: install the Veil2 extension; identify and define your scope types; choose and implement your authentication and session management mechanisms; create foreign key links for veil2.accessors; link your scopes and security contexts; define your scope hierarchy; create an initial set of privileges; integrate and/or create roles; secure your tables; secure your views; assign initial roles to users; set up housekeeping tasks; test There are a significant number of steps needed to complete your implementation. To help you track your progress, and determine which steps have still to be taken, you can call the function veil2.implementation_status(). This function returns records for each step that is still to be performed. Note that it cannot tell you anything about the correctness of your implementation; it just helps you to identify what steps you have not yet begun. Here is an example of its output, from the demo before step 7 is performed: implementation_status --------------------------------------------------------- You need to create user scopes (step 7) You need to redefine the superior_scopes view (step 8) The following tables have no security policies: - demo.projects - demo.project_assignments - demo.party_types - demo.parties_tbl (8 rows)
