How to Transfer a Database Account Access Record

Managers in the Access Management Tool have the ability to transfer database accounts that are unowned to the rightful owner. Unowned database accounts are database accounts that existed before database access management was supported in the Access Management Tool. Follow the steps outlined below to transfer a database account access record to the rightful owner.

Sign into the Access Management Tool:

Navigate to the Access Management page by going to the application menu and selecting Security → Access Management.
Select your IBMid from the list of users. This will open the Person Information tab for your user.
Select the Manage Access tab to view your accesses.
Select the asset from the Assets table that is linked to the database account access record you would like to transfer.
Select the > icon next to the database account access record in the Specific Access in the Environment table to view the access details.
In most cases, existing database account access records will have the status “INCOMPLETE”. The access record will need to be completed by defining the OpenVPN account ID that is used to access the database server with the corresponding database account. If an OpenVPN account is not used to access the database server, the value of “NONE” can be defined as the OpenVPN account ID.
Note: The database account access record cannot be transferred until the OpenVPN account ID is defined.
Define the OpenVPN account ID to complete the access record.
Save the record.
Navigate back to the database account access record that was just completed. Scroll down to the Actions section. Select the search icon in the New Owner field to view the users you can transfer the database account access record to.
Select the user from the list.
Select the Transfer Access Record button to complete the transfer to the selected user. Once the page is refreshed, you will no longer see that access record in your list of accesses.
