# Database Visibility ## Database Visibility & Access Control Two database visibility types exist: System databases are recommended for client-server setups and are created via `System tab > System Databases > Create Database Connection`. User-defined database connections are visible only to the user who created them. The GeoDin Ground plugin for Civil 3D only shows projects the user has access to in the database, implying database-level access control. GeoDin Ground users must be explicitly granted access to the database before they can pull in project data. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
