Security Labels (DB2)
Security labels are database objects that describe a set of security criteria, and which are granted to users to allow them to access protected data.
Every security label is part of exactly one security policy and includes one value for each component in that security policy.
Security labels are supported for DB2 for Common Server v9.5 and higher. PowerDesigner models security labels as extended objects with a stereotype of <<SecurityLabel>>.
You can create a security label in any of the following ways:
-
Select
Model 
Security Labels 
to access the List of Security Labels, and click the Add a Row tool. -
Right-click the model (or a package) in the Browser, and select
New Security Label .
You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a security label property sheet, double-click its Browser entry in the Security Labels folder.
