Authorizing a GaussDB(DWS) Cluster O&M Account

Context

If you need technical support when using a cluster, you can authorize them to use an O&M account on the GaussDB(DWS) console to access the cluster for fault locating.

Only cluster 8.1.3.110 and later versions support O&M accounts. For earlier versions, contact technical support.

Overview

You can perform the following operations:

• Enable or disable the O&M account.
• Check the O&M account status.
• View the validity period of an O&M account and extend it as needed. (If the validity period is not extended, the account will expire automatically.)
