Security in Team Edition
Table of contents
The level of security is one of the key questions for enterprises, and the Team Edition team pays a lot of attention to it. One of the best reasons to use PRO versions is to take advantage of its security tools and features, such as password protection, SSO authentication, teams and roles in Team Edition.
This article briefly describes the most important security options available in DBeaver PRO.
Changing database password
Users can change the current database password directly in Team Edition in the following databases:
- Cockroach
- Exasol
- Greenplum
- Netezza
- Oracle
- PostgreSQL
- Redshift
- Snowflake
- SQL Server
- Vertica.
Oracle, PostgreSQL, and Netezza allow changing an expired password in Team Edition as well.
Secure authentication
You can connect to databases using secure authentication via Kerberos or GCP, AWS, and Azure cloud services.
Kerberos support
Kerberos is an authentication protocol, the default authentication technology used in Microsoft Windows.
You can connect via Kerberos using keytab, kinit, or a password. Open the connection settings, choose one of the supported databases and select Kerberos as the authentication method.

SSO authentication
Users can connect to all company services using only one login and password. This is possible if you use SSO - Single Sign-On authentication service.
You do not need to manage, store, and transfer user credentials. When a user connects to the database, Team Edition opens a web browser with SSO authentication.
Team Edition supports the following SSO authentication services:
Predefined connections
Users roles and permissions
Roles in Team Edition
Team Edition allows you to create users and assign them appropriate roles with predefined capabilities.
You can add Viewers and Editors to work with prepared data, Managers to prepare data for them, Developers to work with scripts and connections, and administrators to manage everything.
Centralized automatic updates
If your team works on Microsoft Windows, you can organize Team Edition mass updates in silent mode, without user input, using the Windows Installer command line options.
