Sharing a DB Instance with Others

If you have a DB instance and want to share it with another account or another user of the same account, but you do not want the account or user to know the password of the shared login or to view other DB instances in your account besides the shared one, you can choose to share the login details of one of your DB instances.

Prerequisites

  • You have two accounts or one account with two IAM users.
  • You have obtained IDs of the IAM users.

Precautions

  • Users that you share your DB instance logins with cannot add databases or users.
  • Data tracking and rollback and background tasks are not available to the DB instances whose login information you have shared with other users.

  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and project.
  3. Click in the upper left corner, and under Databases, click Data Admin Service.
  4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Development Tool.
