Create admin user and assign user rights
To assign user rights to the administrator ID used by the WebSphere Commerce DB2 owner during instance creation:
1. Log on to Windows as an administrator.
2. Create a user ID and add the user to the administrators group (for example, we created a user called admin). Alternatively, you could use an existing administrator user such as the development logon ID.
Note: This user can be the development user ID that you use to log on to the Windows system or db2admin.
For our example, we created a user called admin to whom we assigned these user rights and added to the administrator group. Within our procedure, replace the administrator user ID where we have entered admin as a sample user ID.
3. Click Start Æ Settings Æ Control Panel Æ Administrative Tools Æ Local Security Policy.
4. From the Local Security Settings window, select and expand Local Policies Æ User Rights Assignment.
5. Verify the administrator user ID (for example, admin) has user right assignments for the following Windows Local Security Policies that are needed for DB2:
Act as part of the operating system
Create a token object
Increase quotas
Log on as a service
Replace a process level token
6. Log on as the administrator user ID that had necessary rights assigned for DB2.
