Creating the Sybase User Account

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.
  1. 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.
  2. Verify that you can log in to the machine using this account.
