During Oracle Database configuration, Oracle Database Configuration Assistant installs files and directories in the following default locations, where database_name is the database name or SID.

• ORACLE_BASE\admin\database_name (administration file directories)

• ORACLE_BASE\oradata\database_name (database file directories)

• ORACLE_BASE\oradata\database_name (redo log files and control files)

• ORACLE_HOME\database (SPFILESID.ORA)

Oracle Database Configuration Assistant sets the following permission to these directories, and to all the files and directories under these directories:

• Full control Administrators, SYSTEM, Oracle Home User or ORA_<HomeName>_SVCACCTS group for Virtual Account homes

  Note:

  If these accounts already exist and have more restrictive permissions, then the most restrictive permissions are retained. If accounts other than Administrators, SYSTEM, and Oracle Home User already exist, then the permissions for these accounts are removed.
