Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Need DBA advices on creating a new user, application level or DBA level?
Hello all,
Recently, my company wants to develop an application. One of the functions of the application is it can create a new user. This function can only be done by a project owner, such as PROJECTA_OWNER. PROJECTA_OWNER is not a DBA, he is just a project owner with some system privileges (such as create user).
However, my company's DBA strongly disagree this function. He said that creating a new user should be done by DBA, not on application level. This is because using a client application to create a user may bypass his vision, as a result, he don't know why such a user exist after the application is running (since anyone who knows the PROJECTA_OWNER password can create a new user). He think that it is more difficult to manage the user accounts in the future.
Now, I have some questions:
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
David
