To ensure that SAP product files and directories are created with
consistent ownership and privileges, create a system administrator account.
A user, such as the system administrator— who has read, write, and execute
privileges—must perform all installation and configuration tasks. For Windows, the
user must have the administrator privilege.
- To create system administrator account, choose an existing account,
or create a new account and assign a user ID, group ID, and password for
it.
This account is sometimes called the “sybase” user account. See your operating
system documentation for instructions on creating a new user account.
If you have already installed other SAP software, the “sybase” user already
exists.
- Verify that you can log in to the machine using this account.
