Security Measures for Database Standard Users

To protect the database standard users, you should:

• Changing the Passwords of the Standard Users
• Changing Server Authorizations for Users

Changing the Passwords of the Standard Users
To protect the standard database system users, change their passwords.
You may also want to assign the property [SAP Library] SECONDPASSWORD, to define a second password for a user. In this way, you can allow other people temporary access to work with a user account without needing to reveal or change the original password.

Prerequisites
The database instance is in an operational state [SAP Library] in which it is possible to change the password of the relevant user.

Procedure
See:
Database Manager GUI: Changing a User Password [SAP Library]

Changing Server Authorizations for Users
We recommend that zou assign the server authorizations [SAP Library] individually to the users. In this way, you distribute the various administration tasks between several users and administrators.
