Adding an 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
- If you forget the password of the administrator account, reset it by referring to Resetting the Administrator Password.
- If you select Skip when you create a DDM instance, you can create an administrator by referring to Creating an Administrator Account on the instance basic information page.
Prerequisites
