Restricting Access to Database Resources (Microsoft
Windows)
On Microsoft Windows, only operating system users that belong to the groups Administrators, System or Creator/Owner are able to access the volumes and backups of the database instance using operating system commands. All other database resources are accessible to all operating system users.
Procedure
To protect other database resources, you can restrict access to the directory <independent_data_path>\config.
...
1. Log onto the operating system as an operating system user of the group Administrators or the group Creator/Owner.
2. Grant the following access privileges for the directory <independent_data_path>\config and all the files it contains:
○ Access privilege Full Control for the groups Administrators, System and Creator/Owner
○ No access for all other groups and users
For information about granting access privileges, see your operating system documentation.
