Using the Create Users Screen

Contents

On the Create Users screen:

1. In the Database Users section, specify the user names and passwords for these users:
   1. Administrative (Oracle only) is the schema owner for all P6 EPPM data.
   2. Privileged has read and write access to most P6 EPPM data.
   3. Public has restricted access to the database.
   4. Background (Oracle only) executes background processes.
   5. Reporting is the PX Reporting user who owns tables and views for reporting data.

      Caution: Use a unique name for all your user names; do not use duplicate names. For example, do not enter privuser as the administrative user name or pubuser as your PX reporting user name. Repeating user names will cause conflicts.

      Notes:

      • A red X will appear if the Password and Confirm Password fields do not match. A green check will appear when the two fields match.
      • P6 EPPM does not support passwords with multi-byte characters.
      • Oracle recommends using strong passwords. Strong passwords in P6 EPPM contain between 8 and 20 characters and at least one numeric and one alpha character. To further strengthen the password, use a mixture of upper and lower case letters.
      • Do not use special characters in the database name, privileged user, public user, or PX reporting user name, for example: { } [ ] : ; < > , . ? ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ | / \ ~ `
2. In the Application User section, enter the P6 EPPM application administrative user name and password. By default, the application administrative user will receive Admin Superuser access rights to all applications.

   Notes:
