System Administrator Account
The system administrator account is a user account that is used for system management on each Ingres instance. The system administrator account owns the instance, and so the system administrator is often referred to as the instance owner.
This account is created when installing the DBMS Server. Ingres must be installed under this account because every DBMS system file requires ownership by this user.
The default user name for this account is “ingres”.
Note: Use the system administrator account only for Ingres system management work. We recommend that you do not put non-Ingres files in this account.
The system administrator must have privileges to:
• Perform system administration functions (such as starting and stopping servers)
• Create databases
• Establish other users and grant privileges to them
