Using System Accounts

Datatailr comes with one predefined system account admin named Admin that cannot be deleted. Anyone in the Admin group can use the system account.

Multiple additional system users can be defined for the purpose of running jobs or services by the Datatailr runnables. This can be useful for securing sensitive information, such as database keys. Restricting access to the keys to this specific system user eliminates the need to update the username in various jobs in the event that a human user leaves the company.

System accounts cannot log in to the Datatailr user interface. Multiple human users can use a system account simultaneously.
