Which Database Accounts Are Required During Migration?

MySQL

To ensure your database can be successfully migrated to RDS for MySQL DB instances on the current cloud, DRS automatically creates temporary accounts drsFull and drsIncremental for a destination database when you create a migration task. After the task is complete, DRS automatically deletes the temporary account.

Attempting to delete, rename, or change the passwords or permissions for these accounts will cause task errors.
