Administrator Account

DDM allows you to create an administrator account for your instance. This account has the superuser permissions to modify permissions of accounts displayed on the Accounts page. The administrator account has read/write permissions for all schemas and tables by default, including schemas being created. Once an administrator account is created, it cannot be deleted.

You can configure an administrator account when you create an instance, or create one on the instance details page after your instance has been created.

Scenarios

Prerequisites

The DDM kernel version must be 3.0.9 or later.

Precautions

  • After an administrator account is created, its username cannot be modified.
  • The administrator account cannot be duplicated with any DDM account on the Accounts page.
  • If the administrator account is modified on the management control plane, all its original permissions are cleared, and the new permissions assigned take effect.
