How to grant/revoke access to IBM Spectrum Protect server database TSMDB1

Question & Answer


Question

How can a user authority be added to / removed from the IBM Spectrum Protect server database TSMDB1?

Answer

In some circumstances a new user needs to get access to the TSMDB1 database and also existing users need to be removed.

Steps to do:

  • Sign on as the instance user
  • Run following commands:
    - db2 connect to TSMDB1
    - db2 "select grantee,securityadmauth from syscat.dbauth"

The output returns which user ID is authorized to the database, for example:



To add a user, run following commands:
- db2 grant dbadm with dataaccess with accessctrl on database to user >user to add<
- db2 grant secadm on database to user >user to add<

To remove a user, run following commands:
- db2 revoke secadm on database from user >user to remove<
- db2 revoke dbadm, DATAACCESS, ACCESSCTRL ON DATABASE FROM USER >user to remove<
