<title>Adding existing users as DB2 users</title>
<para>To enable existing system users to act as DB2 administrators, you must
make a few modifications to the user accounts:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Add your user to the db2grp1 group. The database manager SYSADM_GROUP
configuration parameter controls who has that level of access for all
databases in the that instance. You can determine what group is set
as the SYSADM group by entering:
<screen>db2 get dbm cfg | grep SYSADM_GROUP</screen>
</para>
<para>By default, DB2 sets this as the db2grp1 group. To add the user
to the SYSADM group, modify the /etc/groups file (as root), adding
the user account ID to the line for the DB2 system admin group. For example:
<screen>db2grp1:x:102:jackc,ellenp,frankj</screen>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Update the user's profile by adding the following lines to the .bashrc file
in the home directory
<screen># The following three lines have been added by the DB2 SYSADM.
if [ -f /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile ]; then
. /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile
fi</screen></para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If you want to add desktop icons for the user account, run the command:
<screen>/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/bin/db2icons username</screen>
where username is replaced by the user account you wish to enable.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>After installation, if you wish to grant or revoke access
to databases (or other objects), use the "User and Groups"
section of the Control Center or the GRANT and REVOKE SQL
statements.) For example, by default, the sample database
grants a number of privileges to "PUBLIC".</para>
