This section describes the usernames required to install the DB2 product and its components.
You need to have a username that will be used to install DB2. The username must belong to the Administrators group, and also be a valid DB2 username or have the "Act as part of the operating system" advanced user right.
A valid DB2 username is eight characters or less, and complies with DB2's naming rules. For more information on DB2's naming rules, see Appendix D. "Naming Rules".
