Prior to installing Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management, you create a UNIX administration user ID and administration group. This account is used to install and operate the product. The administration user ID and product group are provided as parameters during the installation process. By default, the product administration user ID is splsys (SPLADMIN parameter and environment variable) and the group is splusr (SPLADMINGRP parameter and environment variable). However, alternative values can be used according to your site standards.

The administration userid is responsible for the following:

The administration userid should be protected from unauthorized use. If components of the responsibility of administration need to be delegated to other users on the machine, we recommend not giving out the administration userid. Instead, an alternative solution may be sought (such as using sudo or similar security tools).

The administration userid should not be used for any of the following:

This technical document will refer to the administration userid as splsys. If your site uses an alternative userid as the administration userid, substitute that userid value for splsys.
