In Teradata, a user is an entity that performs actions on the database. It logs onto the system and consumes the resources of the system while performing work. A user can be assigned to individual human users or it could be a batch user that is used to perform ETL or reporting work. Each user has a password, unlike the database. The user can have permanent space and can have spool space allocated to it. It can also own objects, like databases.
