## Changing the Passwords of Standard Users

### Use

The following standard users are created during the installation of the MaxDB database system.

MaxDB Standard Users

Name (Default value) | Password (Default value) | Description
DBADMIN DBA (up to version 7.5 inclusive) | SECRET DBA (up to version 7.5 inclusive) | Database System Administrator (SYSDBA user)
DBM | SECRET DBM | Database Manager Operator (DBM operator) with all server authorizations
DBSERVICE | SECRET | Only for version 7.6.10 to 7.6.25: Synchronization user for the Synchronization Manager If you do not use the Synchronization Manager, you can delete this user and all the database objects assigned to it.

As a rule, the following standard users are created during installation in SAP systems.

SAP Standard Users for Databases

Name | Password | Description
SUPERDBA | User-defined, set at the time of installation | Database system administrator (SYSDBA user)
CONTROL | User-defined, set at the time of installation | Database manager operator (DBM operator) with all server authorizations
SAPR3 | User-defined, set at the time of installation | In older SAP systems: Database administrator (database user of type DBA)
SAP<SAPSID> | User-defined, set at the time of installation | In newer SAP systems, in particular in MCOD systems (Multiple Components One Database): Database administrator for the SAP system with the ID <SAPSID> (database user of the type DBA)
SAP<SAPSID>DB | User-defined, set at the time of installation | In J2EE systems: Database administrator for the SAP system with the ID <SAPSID> (database user of the type DBA)

These users have comprehensive authorizations for working with the database system MaxDB.

### Procedure

To keep unauthorized persons from learning the passwords of standard users, we recommend the following measures:

● Do not adopt the default passwords.

● Use secure passwords.

● Change the passwords regularly.

● To enable another user to work temporarily with the account of the database system administrator (SYSDBA user), you can temporarily assign a second password to the database system administrator. This way you do not have to reveal the password of the database system administrator.
