Creating a User

Scenarios

Multiple users with different permissions can be created to access a DB instance or database, but the permissions of these users must be within the range of the account permissions.

Procedure

1. On the top menu bar, choose Account Management > User Management.
2. On the displayed page, click Create User. Then, configure basic information, advanced settings, global permissions, and object permissions, and click Save. In the displayed dialog box, click OK.

   In the user list, you can view all created users, or locate a user and click Edit and Delete in the Operation column to manage it.
