==============
|
|
|
|
ArangoDB allows to restrict access to databases to certain users. All
|
|
users of the system database are considered administrators. During
|
|
installation a default user *root* is created, which has access to
|
|
all databases.
|
|
|
|
You should create a database for your application together with a
|
|
user that has access rights to this database. See
|
|
[Managing Users](administration-managing-users.html).
|
|
|
|
Use the *arangosh* to create a new database and user.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
arangosh> db._createDatabase("example");
|
|
arangosh> var users = require("@arangodb/users");
|
|
arangosh> users.save("root@example", "password");
|
|
arangosh> users.grantDatabase("root@example", "example");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can now connect to the new database using the user
|
|
*root@example*.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
shell> arangosh --server.username "root@example" --server.database example
|
|
```
|
