Before adding a database user, you must create a database server instance. A database server instance acts as a data store for the applications running under a tenant domain. By default, you have a server instance by the name WSO2_RSS but individual tenants can also define their own. RSS uses round robin algorithm to select the next database server instance from the list when creating databases.
To create a server instance using the management console UI, see Database Server Instance. You can also create server instances directly in <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/etc/rss-config.xml file. For instructions, see Changing the Default RSS Configuration.
After a database service instance is created, follow the steps below to create a database user.
- Log in to the management console and select Database Users under RSS Manager.
- Select the environment.This is the environment that the database server instance is created on. and click Add Database User.
- Enter the new database user details. For example,
- Click Save to complete.
- You now have a database user using which you can manipulate data in your tenant domain.
- The purpose of each of the links associated with the database user is described below.

Datasource is the connection set up to a database from the server. A datasource is a resource for the user, who can use it to expose data as services across different cluster nodes of his/her tenant space.
Edit/Drop
The Edit link allows you to change the user's password or privileges, and the Drop link allows you to delete the user.
