Specifying database permissions to create the BlackBerry UEM database

Depending on the database option and the type of authentication that you select, you might need to assign database creator permissions to one of the following:
  • Service account that you use to complete the installation process
  • Microsoft SQL Server account that you specify during the installation process

Database option

Database permission

Install Microsoft SQL Server Express during the UEM installation.

If you choose Windows authentication, the setup application automatically assigns the required database permissions to the service account.

Use an existing Microsoft SQL Server in your organization's environment.

You must add the service account or Microsoft SQL Server account to the dbcreator server role.

If you want to use a group Managed Service Account (gMSA) to install UEM with Windows authentication database access, the service account requires dbcreator rights for the Microsoft SQL Server.
