Creating the database user

An LN user must connect to a database to use information from it. The LN user can only access a database with the proper authorizations and rights. To give an LN user these rights, you must link the LN user to a database user.

You can create a database user by using Tools or by using another software package. The described procedure only applies to Tools and does not apply to the creation of a database user by using another software package. You can only create database users) in an existing database group.

To create a database user complete the following procedure:

  • Create a database group in the Database Groups (ttdba0120m000) session, if necessary.
  • Create a database user in the Database Users (ttdba0115m000) session

Some databases cannot handle uppercase characters. Therefore you must create all database user names and group names in lowercase.

You can link the LN user and the database user in the Links between Infor LN Users and Database Users (ttdba0110m000) session.
