KB8419: What are database logins in MicroStrategy Developer and how are they created and edited?

A database login specifies the user ID and password to use in order to access the warehouse. A database connection designates one database login as the default login for Strategy users, however, users and groups can be mapped to other database logins using connection mappings.
 
Database Logins can created and edited in the Database Connection dialog box:

 
For more information on Database Connections, please refer to the Strategy System Administration Guide.
 
Any database login created within the database connection dialog box is available for use across all connections in the Project Source.
When creating and editing new or existing database logins, the Database Login dialog opens, as shown below:

 
To create or edit a database login, perform the following steps:

1. In the Database Login field, enter the name of the database login.
2. In the Login ID field, enter the user ID needed to access the warehouse.
3. In the Password field, enter the password that is paired with the user ID entered in Step 2. As the password characters are entered, asterisks will appear in the box.
4. Click 'OK'.

Note: Database logins are passed to the warehouse anytime a user executes a report or browses attribute elements, therefore all database logins created in Strategy Developer must also be created as valid logins in the warehouse.
