Creating an Account

By default, the system creates the system administrator sysadmin, audit administrator audadmin, and security administrator secadmin for an account. If multiple employees need to use the system, create separate accounts for each employee for easier management.

The permissions of an account depend on the role. The system creates the system administrator, audit administrator, and security administrator for a role.

Procedure

  1. Log in to a database encryption and access control instance as the sysadmin user.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose System Management > Account Management.
  3. Click Create Account in the upper right corner.
  4. Configure the parameters in the displayed dialog box. Table 1 describes the parameters.
