This paper addresses the access control problem in the context of database keyword search, when a user defines a query by a list of keywords, and not by SQL (or SPARQL) code. It describes the solutions implemented in DANKE, a database keyword search platform currently used in several industrial applications. DANKE offers two alternatives for managing access control: given a keyword query K and the user permissions P, either compile K into the same structured query and filter the results based on P, or compile K into different structured queries, depending on P. Likewise, DANKE has two alternatives for defining the user permissions: using the features of the database management system, or using an internal mechanism.
