# Security in DBeaver PRO

Note

This feature is available in [Lite](../Lite-Edition/),
[Enterprise](../Enterprise-Edition/), [Ultimate](../Ultimate-Edition/) and
[Team](https://dbeaver.com/docs/team-edition/) editions only.

The level of security is one of the key questions for enterprises, and the
DBeaver 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.

## Master password¶

You can enhance security in DBeaver with the Master Password, which encrypts
credentials and sensitive data using a secure storage system. This feature
ensures that each user's credentials are individually protected by their own
Master Password, tying the encryption specifically to their local environment.

Info

For more details, refer to the [Managing Master Password](../Managing-Master-
Password/) article.

## Secure Storage with Secret Providers¶

DBeaver supports various cloud-based secret providers to retrieve database
credentials securely. For detailed setup instructions, see [Secret
Providers](../Secret-Providers/).

## Changing database password¶

Users can change the current database password directly in DBeaver in the
following databases:

  * Cockroach
  * Exasol
  * Greenplum
  * Netezza
  * Oracle
  * PostgreSQL
  * Redshift
  * Snowflake
  * SQL Server
  * Vertica.

Info

Oracle, PostgreSQL, and Netezza allow changing an expired password in DBeaver
as well.

  * [How to change the user password](../Change-current-user-password/)

## Password protection for Projects¶

### Master password for all your Projects¶

You can protect all [Projects](../Projects-View/) in your local workspace with
a Master password.

You can set this password and store it in DBeaver password provider or use a
generated password from your local password provider (for instance, OS X
Keystore Integration or Windows integration provider).

[Learn more about the Master password for Projects](../Project-
security/#master-password)

### Password for one project¶

You can specify a password for any project to protect all the project's
configurations.

[Learn more about project password](../Project-security/#project-password-
management)

## 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](../Kerberos-
Authentication/) and select Kerberos as the authentication method.

[Learn more about authentication via Kerberos](../Kerberos-Authentication/)

### 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, DBeaver opens a web browser with SSO authentication.

DBeaver supports the following SSO authentication services:

  * [AWS SSO](../AWS-SSO/)
  * [GCP SSO](../GCP-SSO/)
  * [Azure](../Azure-Cloud-Explorer/)

## Predefined connections¶

### Connections import¶

You can describe all available database connections in [configuration
files](../Admin-Manage-Connections/#provide-predefined-connections) (in JSON
format) or [import from CSV or XML](../Admin-Manage-Connections/#importing-
connections-from-csv-or-xml) DBeaver.

### Read-only connections¶

If you want to restrict users from editing connection parameters, you can
[protect them with passwords](../Admin-Manage-Connections/#secure-connections-
from-editing).

## Users roles and permissions¶

### Configuring preferences¶

You can customize users preferences before they run DBeaver. For example, you
can set the default [simple mode](../Simple-and-Advanced-View/) for all
connections (to show only schemas and tables and hide all system and service
objects).

[How to manage preferences](../Admin-Manage-Preferences/#default-navigator-
view-for-new-connections)

### Roles in Team Edition¶

The best way to manage user access, restrictions, and permissions is to use
[Team Edition](https://dbeaver.com/dbeaver-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 DBeaver mass updates
in silent mode, without user input, using the Windows Installer command line
options.

[Learn more about silent install](../Windows-Silent-Install/)

## License management¶

You can place the license file in the user's workspace or store it elsewhere,
and specify the license path on the command line or in the DBeaver
configuration file.
