After you enable the three-role mode for your PolarDB-X instance, the privileged account becomes the database administrator (DBA) account. You must create a security administrator (DSA) account and a data audit administrator (DAA) account. The DBA, DSA, and DAA accounts are granted different permissions. When you perform an operation on your database, you must enter the password of the account that is granted the required permissions for this operation. This topic describes the operations that require permission verification and how you can be authorized to perform the operations.

The username and password of the DBA account are the same as those of the privileged account in the default mode.
