Database users


Database configuration user

The database administration user that is typically created when a database management system (DBMS) is installed is the database installation user or the database configuration user. The database configuration user is not necessarily the user that is created by default when the database management system is installed. The default user might be used as the database configuration user. The database configuration user is used by HCL Portal for configuration tasks and creates the database structure that is needed by HCL Portal. For example, the database configuration user can create database tables and indexes, do database transfer, and often times has operating system privileges, depending on the database management system.


Database runtime user

The database runtime user has fewer privileges than the database configuration user. The runtime user has runtime access to the data source of a database and can do basic read and write operations on the data. Consider creating a dedicated runtime user for each database domain of HCL Portal. If we do not create runtime users, then HCL Portal uses the configuration user to connect to the databases at run time.
