    - Two special operating system groups control database administrator connections when using operating system authentication.

    - These groups are generically referred to as OSDBA and OSOPER.

    - The groups are created and assigned specific names as part of the database installation process.

    - The specific names vary depending upon your operating system. They are:

    - OSDBA - Its UNIX user group is dba and its windows user group is ORA_DBA

    - OSOPER - Its UNIX user group is oper and its windows user group is ORA_OPER
