Creating Admin Account
Last updated: 2025-10-11 10:29:40
This document describes how to create an admin account for a TencentDB for SQL Server instance in the console.
Admin account description
The System Admin (SA) role is the most privileged role in SQL Server. It can perform any operations in SQL Server without passing any security checks.
TencentDB for SQL Server single-node (formerly Basic Edition) instances support creating an account with the system admin (SA) permission, also known as an admin account. Due to business security and risk control requirements, the system may prompt you to restart the instance in rare cases to enable this feature when you create an admin account. At this point, follow the prompt in the console to complete the instance restart before you perform the admin account creation operation.
Warning:
Once an admin account is created for an instance, the
sysadmin privilege is enabled, and the product SLA will no longer be guaranteed for the instance. Database instances that do not have admin accounts with the SA privilege are not affected.You can create only one SA account for each instance.
Directions
1. Log in to the TencentDB for SQL Server console. Click an Instance ID or Manage in the Operation column to access the instance management page.
2. On the instance management page, select Account Management > Create Account and enter relevant information in the pop-up window. After confirming that everything is correct, click OK.
