01 · Learn

What you will learn

Give an application only the PostgreSQL access it needs while keeping a tested operator recovery route.

  • Separate login roles from permission groups
  • Grant only the required operations
  • Test allowed, denied, and recovery access

02 · Use it

Why this matters

Clear role boundaries reduce the damage from mistakes and compromised application credentials.

03 · Practise

What you will do

Read each short section, answer a quick understanding check, then use real SQL to solve a guided task in your own temporary database.

04 · Prove it

How you will finish

Pass the SQL lab and the module assessment. Your result is saved to your signed-in account, and a module certificate is created if you pass.
