Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Oracle Home User Vs Built in account in Oracle 12c

Sep 2, 2015 3:42AM edited Sep 9, 2015 10:01AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered

Hello community,

I would like to know why Oracle recommends using the Oracle Home user instead of the Windows Built in user.

Is it clearly a security matter or has some further impact on the DB?

Thank you in advance
