Database Access

Teleport can provide secure access to PostgreSQL and MySQL databases, while improving both access control and visibility.

Some of the things you can do with Database Access:

• Configure role-based access controls for databases and implement custom access request workflows.
• Capture database access events as well as query activity in the audit log.

Demo
