[Part 29] Reading Logs While Restricting Container Shell Access
Troubleshooting starts with logs, but not every log reader needs to execute commands in a container. Following Part 26’s read/change distinction, I separated log access from shell access on the same Pod in QueryPie.

[Part 30] Finding and Terminating an Active Server Session
Access management continues after login: operators need to see who is connected and end a specific session when necessary. Part 24 replayed completed work; this time I found and terminated an active SSH session, then checked reconnection with the same role.

[Part 31] Downloading Server Files While Blocking Uploads
Inspecting production status files need not include upload rights. I used QueryPie web SFTP to transfer files with one user/account, then restricted only uploads and checked that downloads remained available.

[Part 32] Recording the Reason Alongside the SQL
SQL audits show who queried what, but not whether a lookup answered a shipping inquiry or reconciled processing. I required execution reasons in QueryPie and queried two orders for different purposes, then checked their audit records.

ACP Lab Notes
[Part 34] Separating Database Access by Task on the Same Server
Multiple business databases may share a server, but order staff do not need all settlement data. After table-level restrictions, I tested logical-database permissions: allow the orders database on one MySQL server while excluding finance.
![[Part 35] Blocking UPDATE and DELETE Without WHERE](/assets/content/acp-lab-notes/prevent-unsafe-sql/01.webp)
ACP Lab Notes
[Part 35] Blocking UPDATE and DELETE Without WHERE
Forgetting WHERE while changing one order can affect every row; DELETE may remove the whole table’s data. I enabled QueryPie’s safeguard and compared scoped SQL with missing-WHERE SQL using an account allowed to update and delete.
![[Part 36] Allowing Reads and Managing File Export Separately](/assets/content/acp-lab-notes/export-permissions/01.webp)
ACP Lab Notes
[Part 36] Allowing Reads and Managing File Export Separately
Sometimes viewing orders on screen is enough for shipping checks. I separated read and export privileges in the web SQL editor: first download three orders to CSV, then disable only Can Export and compare the UI.
![[Part 37] Reviewing the Execution Plan Before Approving SQL](/assets/content/acp-lab-notes/sql-execution-plan/01.webp)
ACP Lab Notes
[Part 37] Reviewing the Execution Plan Before Approving SQL
SQL approval reviews the statement and reason. An execution plan adds table/index context. I attached a plan to SQL Request and checked that the approver could inspect the same evidence inside the request.

[Part 38] Changing a Server Tag Also Changes Group Membership
After registration and access grants, I explored grouping servers. QueryPie Server Groups can use tag conditions. I put the same server into a tag-based group and a manual group, then changed its tag to compare membership.

ACP Lab Notes
[Part 39] Changing the Database Owner Without Rewriting Approval Rules
Approval rules route SQL requests to reviewers, but must each rule be edited when the database owner changes? I used Connection Owner, processed one request, changed only the connection owner, and checked the next request’s assigned approver.

[Part 40] Keeping Database Privileges and Defining Allowed IPs
A user may need read access only from an approved network. I tried Allowed Zone, changing only allowed IPs while retaining user privileges, then restoring the original setting to verify access returned.

[Part 41] Mapping Read and Operational Privileges to Different Database Accounts
Database teams often separate read accounts from operational accounts. I mapped that distinction to QueryPie Advanced Privilege, verifying that the actual account changes with privileges and both identities remain in audits.

[Part 42] Adding Two-Step Approval to Database Work
Some database tasks need more than one reviewer: development checks SQL, then operations checks target and purpose. I built two sequential SQL Request approvals with different reviewers, then executed a one-order SELECT.

[Part 43] Connecting to Servers from My Everyday Mac Terminal
I wanted to keep inspecting accounts, files, and commands in my familiar terminal. I connected through Multi Agent from the Mac, tested normal commands and a restricted deletion, then reviewed connection and command audits in QueryPie.

[Part 44] Separating Access Scope While Keeping kubectl
Kubernetes teams use kubectl daily and should not need a web UI for every check. I connected through Multi Agent, read a ConfigMap, attempted a change, and checked role-based handling in QueryPie.

[Part 45] Replaying Work Inside a Container
Knowing someone entered a container raises the next question: what did they do and see? I performed a short test-Pod inspection and replayed Pod Session Recordings, linking access records to the actual terminal view.

[Part 46] Changing a Server Account Password in QueryPie
A password change includes verifying access afterward and helping users reconnect, not just pressing a button. As servers grow, tracking rotations becomes difficult. I tried Password Provisioning on a test account, then connected and ran commands through QueryPie.

[Part 47] Receiving Alerts for Blocked SQL
Unauthorized SQL was already blocked, but could operators learn about attempts without constantly checking audits? I used Alerts, ran UPDATE with read-only access, and compared the delivered message with the audit.

[Part 48] Delegating Only Necessary Work to External Maintenance Staff
External database checks need careful scope: order inspection does not require changes, and access should not remain after work ends. I followed a test contractor from read-access request through approval, inspection, revocation, and verification.

[Part 49] What records remain after changing a single order?
Changing a value in a production database often requires more than saying it is done. I followed one order correction through its justification, SQL approval, execution, before-and-after snapshots, and audit export.
