After you create a filter, you can assign it to users or groups who require the settings included in the filter definition. Modifications to a filter definition are automatically inherited by users of that filter the next time they connect to the database. Filters do not affect users who have Administrator permissions.
Only one filter per database can be assigned to a user or group.
See Managing Filters for information about permissions needed to assign filters.
You can also migrate filter associations across servers as part of application migration. See Migration Wizard.
To assign a filter to a user or group:
From Enterprise View or a custom view, select a database.
Right-click and select Edit, then Filters.
In the Filters window, select the filter.
Click Assign to display the Assign Filter dialog box.
In the Available Users and Groups list box, select the users and/or groups to which you want to assign the filter.
Click the single-arrow button that points towards the Assigned Users and Groups list box.
To move all users and groups, click the double-arrow button.
Click OK.
