Changing Passwords of Standard Users

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

SAP MaxDB Standard Users
Default Name	Default Password(s)	Description
`DBADMIN` `DBA` (up to and including version 7.5)	`SECRET` `DBA` (up to and including version 7.5)	Database system administrator
`DBM`	`SECRET` `DBM`	First DBM operator with all DBM server authorizations

As a rule, the following standard users are created while installing SAP MaxDB in SAP systems.

SAP Standard Users for Databases
Name	Description
`SUPERDBA`	Database system administrator
`CONTROL`	DBM operator with all server authorizations
`SAPR3`	In older SAP systems: Database administrator (database user of class `DBA`)
`SAP<SAPSID>`	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 class `DBA`)
`SAP<SAPSID>DB`	In Java EE systems: Database administrator for the SAP system with the ID `<SAPSID>` (database user of class `DBA`)

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

To prevent 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.

Use Database Studio, Database Manager CLI or, in SAP systems, CCMS.
