Manage users

Overview

You can create users and manage user permissions on the User Management page of OceanBase Developer Center (ODC).

Log on to ODC as the administrator, and go to the Public Resource Console page. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Resource Permissions > User to display the User Management page on the right.

Built-in user

ODC has a built-in account admin that is automatically assigned the administrator role system_admin . The administrator account has all system permissions and has access to all public resources. You cannot edit, delete, or disable the account.

Create a single user

Click Create User in the upper-right corner of the User Management page. The Create User panel appears.

You can take the following steps to create a user:

1. Specify the User Information .

4. Specify the Remarks (optional).

   Enter the description in the field. The remarks are optional and cannot exceed 140 characters in length.

5. Submit user information.
