Default Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus users

When you run the database initialization utility (nco_dbinit) to create an ObjectServer, a set of default users is created.

The following table describes the default users, which are defined in the security.sql script.

Table 1. Default users
Username	Description
root	This user is created with an empty string as a password by default. You can reset the password by using Netcool/OMNIbus Administrator , or the ALTER USER ObjectServer SQL command.
nobody	This user is disabled and cannot be used to access the ObjectServer. Ownership of each alert in the `alerts.status` table is assigned to a user when the row is inserted. By default, probes assign rows to the `nobody` user.

The permissions that are assigned to the default users are shown in the following table.

Table 2. Default user permissions
