Manage the Compute Instance for Oracle Analytics Server Using the Built-in oracle User

Manage the Compute Instance for Oracle Analytics Server Using the Built-in `oracle` User

You can use your favorite Secure Shell (SSH) client software to connect to the compute instance for Oracle Analytics Server. After logging in as the opc user, Oracle recommends that you switch to the built-in oracle user to explore the Oracle Analytics Server compute instance and complete any administrative tasks.

For example, use the built-in oracle user if you decide to create the domain manually, scale out, access Oracle Analytics Server logs, and so on.

Note:

When you use Oracle Cloud Marketplace to deploy Oracle Analytics Server and create the domain, the domain is also created and owned by the oracle user.

Use your favorite SSH client to connect to the compute instance for Oracle Analytics Server. Log in as the opc user.
```
ssh -i path_to_private_key opc@oas_public_ip
```
Switch to the oracle user to explore the Oracle Analytics Server compute instance and perform administrative tasks.
```
sudo su oracle
```
