System Administrator Responsibilities
The system administrator has all privileges and holds the primary responsibility for installing and maintaining Ingres. The system administrator (often referred to as the installation owner) owns the user ID specified during installation. Logging in as this user provides permissions that are needed for installation and maintenance.
The system administrator has the following responsibilities:
• Installing Ingres (and optional components)
• Authorizing users to access Ingres
• Defining Ingres variables such as II_DATABASE and II_INSTALLATION
• Starting, stopping, configuring, and monitoring servers
• Disconnecting or suspending a session connected to a server
• Shutting down the installation (or its components)
