Account type for Database access
I have an Active Directory Service account that will be used to pull information about our Avamar Grids directly from the Databases on the Grid to our Enterprise Data Warehouse.
Due to security policies, I am unable to use a built-in account for access.
I would like to limit this account to have as few privileges as possible.
Basically, I just need to know if the Operator account roles would have access to the database, or if the account would need the Administrator role.
We are currently running version 6.1.1-87 on our grids.

Hi Scott,
Yes, I think you can limit this account to have as few privileges as possible.
There have a good document for your reference. EMC Avamar 6.1 Administration Guide
You can refer to "Understanding users, authentication, and roles" section in 65 page and "Enabling user authentication" section in 73 page of this guide.
Hope this helps.

Hi Scott,
Operator roles are generally implemented to allow certain users limited access to certain areas of the system to perform backups and restores, or obtain status and run reports.These roles allow greater freedom in assigning backup, restore, and reporting tasks to persons other than administrators.
And as I believe if you want to access Postgre SQL DB you have to have Administrator role.

Neither Operators nor Administrators have direct access to the MCS database. There is a database account called "viewuser" available that provides read-only access to the views defined in the database. This may do what you need. The details are available in the Administration Guide (page 245 for the Avamar 6.1 Administration Guide).
