Setting up a replication user

Note: Before you complete this step, you must install a license. See Setting up licensing at sites for instructions.

Create a user account that will be used during replication between the sites. Assign this user the appropriate permissions to allow replication data to complete the transaction. This protects the local site from another site inappropriately adding or modifying data on the local site without permission.

  1. Add a replication user called repl_user on the Users form at all sites where non-transactional replication will be used. Initially, make that user a super user and do not assign any authorization groups.


    The user must be assigned to a group, but it does not matter what multi-site group you assign this user to.

    If you have multiple administrators for different sites, you can later decide to revise the permissions and groups assigned to this replication user, in order to limit the data that certain sites are allowed to send to other sites. However, until everything is set up and working properly, leave this user as a super user who can access everything.

  2. (On-premises only) Click User Modules and specify the license module to which this user is assigned.
    Generally, you should assign the Automation license.
