Creating Account
Last updated:2025-11-20 15:24:15
This document describes how to create an account for a TencentDB for SQL Server instance in the console.
Prerequisites
Before creating an account, you need to understand the account types and permissions supported by TencentDB for SQL Server instances.
Overview
TencentDB for SQL Server supports creating and deleting accounts or modifying account permissions on the Account Management page in the console. It is prohibited to perform operations such as creating and deleting accounts or modifying account permissions through tools such as SSMS or NAVICAT. If the instance is connected outside the console (including but not limited to SSMS) to create and delete accounts or modify account permissions, the results may not be synchronized to the console and displayed.
Note:
The created account name and password will be used when connecting to TencentDB for SQL Server. Please store them properly.
The advanced permission account and ordinary account support the create login feature. To use this feature, submit a ticket for application.

1. Log in to the TencentDB for SQL Server console and click an Instance ID or Manage in the Operation column to enter the instance management page.
2. On the instance management page, select Manage Account > Create Account and enter relevant information in the pop-up window. After confirming that everything is correct, click OK.
