Article #25611: Why is there no "default" role for InterBase

Problem:
Why is there no "default" role for user? Every user in any OS must
exist in some group to have minimal privileges. When user connects to IB
he/she does not have ANY privileges.

Solution:
The default role is called NONE.  It is a role that won't show up in the
role list.  It is essentially a role that has no privileges for anything
in the database.  The NONE role will be assumed if a connection is made
without specifying a role.  However, if the NONE role is used the user
will still have all the privileges that have been explicitly granted to
that user.
