About SQL Server security

SQL Server has its own security settings. When you install Application Server, the following operating system groups and users and user accounts are created:

• aaAdministrators group

• Network Account (for inter-node communication)

• aaGalaxyOwner user account

  Caution: aaGalaxyOwner and ASBService are reserved OS user names. aaAdministrators and ASBSolution are reserved OS group names. Do not create users or groups with these names.

The aaAdministrators group, Network Account, and aaGalaxyOwner user account are defined for use with SQL Server, and are used for Galaxy operations. Do not delete this group or these accounts. See the section on SQL Server Rights Requirements in the System Platform Installation Guide for additional information. This section also describes how to set the SQL Server Security Mode with the aaConfig SQL utility.
