### Accounts and Permissions

|Type|Description|

|----------|-----------------|
62-
|User account|In [!INCLUDE[ssMDScfgmgr](../../includes/ssmdscfgmgr-md.md)], you can use a Windows account or a [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] account to connect to the [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)] instance of [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] to host the [!INCLUDE[ssMDSshort](../../includes/ssmdsshort-md.md)] database. The user account must belong to the **sysadmin** server role on the instance of [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)]. For more information about the **sysadmin** role, see [Server-Level Roles](../../relational-databases/security/authentication-access/server-level-roles.md).|
63-
|[!INCLUDE[ssMDSmdm](../../includes/ssmdsmdm-md.md)] administrator account|When you create a [!INCLUDE[ssMDSshort](../../includes/ssmdsshort-md.md)] database, you must specify a domain user account to be the [!INCLUDE[ssMDSshort](../../includes/ssmdsshort-md.md)] system administrator. For all [!INCLUDE[ssMDSmdm](../../includes/ssmdsmdm-md.md)] web applications associated with this database, this user can update all models and all data in all functional areas. For more information, see [Administrators (Master Data Services)](../../master-data-services/administrators-master-data-services.md).|
64-
65-
### Database Backup
66-
As a best practice, back up the full database daily at a time of low activity and back up transaction logs more frequently depending on the needs of your environment. For more information about database backups, see [Backup Overview (SQL Server)](../../relational-databases/backup-restore/backup-overview-sql-server.md).
