To create users for Airbyte, the process depends on the specific integration or destination you're setting up. Based on the provided knowledge sources, here are some common scenarios for creating users: 1. For PostgreSQL source: Create a dedicated read-only user with the following commands:
Copy code
sql    CREATE USER <user_name> PASSWORD 'your_password_here';    GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA <schema_name> TO <user_name>;    GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA <schema_name> TO <user_name>;    ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA <schema_name> GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO <user_name>;

For Salesforce source: It's recommended to create a dedicated user with minimum access: - Log in to Salesforce with an admin account - Create a new User with the "Salesforce Platform" User License and "Standard Platform User" Profile - Create a new Permission Set with read-only access to relevant objects [Source: Salesforce Setup Guide](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/salesforce#setup-guide) 3. For Snowflake destination: Run a SQL script in the Snowflake console to create a dedicated user:
Copy code
sql    set airbyte_username = 'AIRBYTE_USER';    set airbyte_password = 'YOUR PASSWORD';    -- Additional SQL statements to create role, warehouse, etc.    create user if not exists identifier($airbyte_username) password = $airbyte_password default_role = $airbyte_role default_warehouse = $airbyte_warehouse;

For BigQuery destination: Create a service account in Google Cloud Console: - Go to "IAM & Admin" > "Service accounts" - Click "Create Service Account" - Name your service account and assign "BigQuery Data Editor" and "BigQuery Job User" roles [Source: Building an E-commerce Data Pipeline](https://airbyte.com/tutorials/building-an-e-commerce-data-pipeline-a-hands-on-guide-to-using-airbyte-dbt-dagster-and-bigquery) 5. For S3 destination: Create an IAM user in AWS: - Create a new user group in IAM - Attach a policy with write access to S3 - Add a new user to the group with programmatic access to obtain access key ID and secret access key [Source: Export Postgres data to CSV, JSON, Parquet and Avro files in S3](https://airbyte.com/tutorials/postgres-to-csv-json-parquet-avro-in-s3) Remember to always follow the principle of least privilege when creating users for Airbyte integrations, granting only the necessary permissions for the specific use case.
