The aclEZ Main Screen

The left-hand panel of the main screen is called Databases, and from here you use checkboxes to select the databases you'd like to work with.
Once a selection is made, any ACL information will appear in the ACL Entries section (situated, by default, on the upper right-hand side of aclEZ). The ACL Entries pane uses the grid interface. You'll find five tabbed panels in the lower right-hand side of the main screen: Output, Attributes, Roles, Global ACL Properties and ACL Entry Presence.
