The User Access page has two tabs. The first one shows your SQL credentials and the Ghost Database you have access to. The second tab is for downloading the Dymium client and instructions on how to use it
The Dymium Client is used to give users, such as Data Analysts and Data Scientists direct SQL access to the Ghost Databases their user accounts have access. The Dymium Client is light-weight and can be installed on Windows, Macos and Linux. It builds an outbound mTLS connection with the Dymium platform. Users have to authenticate against their IAM/IdP before they can use the Dymium Client. After authentication users can then connect to localhost or 127.0.0.1 using any tool that support PostgreSQL. To these users it seems that the Ghost Databases they have access to live on their local machine.
Your Ghost Databases
When logging in the first time, this tab will show you your SQL Username and Password. The password will be visible for 24 hours after logging in for security reasons. It will still be valid after this time, but cannot be retrieved. Only regenerated.
To regenerate the password, click "Regenerate"
This screen also shows you which Ghost Databases you have access to, including examples on how to access them using the Command Line, Python, Java/JDBC,C#/ODBC or Julia. These are just examples, as accessing a Ghost Database is the same as accessing a PostgreSQL database. Many more tools, applications, programming languages, etc support PostgreSQL and thus GhostDB.
