Daffodil DB permits specific privileges to different users in order to restrict or allow access to different database tables or objects. A user or role can access an object once the necessary privilege has been granted.

A secure database environment would not be complete without the consideration of encryption technology. To ensure tight-leashed security, Daffodil DB supports various encryption algorithms. Using a particular algorithm, a user can configure Daffodil DB to encrypt data before storing onto the file system.
