Spotlight users must be configured for each database they are to diagnose.
You cannot configure Spotlight users for a database while Spotlight is diagnosing that database.
You must have the user ID and password of the DBA that manages the database to which you are adding the Spotlight user.
You should not use any system accounts. We recommend creating a separate user for Spotlight or using a personal account.
The Spotlight user must have sufficient privileges, views, and tables to diagnose the Oracle database. You can view the privileges, views and tables required by Spotlight users in the Database Objects and Privileges document in the Spotlight installation folder: \Console\Help\.
