Managing IBM® Db2 Warehouse client-container users

The client container does not have a console, so to manage client-container users, you need to use Linux® commands.

About this task

Managing client-container users requires root authority.

Each client-container user must be assigned to the db2iadm1 group.

Procedure

  • To create a new client-container user, enter the following command at the Linux command line:
    useradd -g db2iadm1 username
    The -g db2iadm1 parameter assigns the new user to the db2iadm1 group.
  • To add an existing user to the db2iadm1 group, enter the following command at the Linux command line:
    usermod -a -G db2iadm1 username
