[GIS] n’t data be loaded into enterprise geodatabase logged in with sde user

Question

I've read somewhere that it is not good practice to load data into an enterprise geodatabase using the sde user.

I was wondering what the reason for this is?

Answer 1

The ArcSDE administrative user (sdeuser) account is responsible for the administration of the following:

ArcSDE geodatabase system tables, triggers, and procedures

The ArcSDE service

Versions

The ArcSDE administrator owns all the ArcSDE geodatabase system files, directories, and tables. For this reason, the ArcSDE administrative account must be created before the geodatabase can be created. The database administrator (DBA) creates the ArcSDE administrator and grants this user the necessary permissions. On Windows installations, this can be accomplished through the Post Installation wizard. On UNIX/Linux, this is done manually, and how it is done depends on the operating system and database management system (DBMS) you are using.

All other users must be GRANTED Permissions on their accounts to load/change/delete data.

Key to this is:

It is recommended that the ArcSDE administrator and its schema only be used to manage and store ArcSDE system tables. You should create separate user schemas in which to store your ArcSDE data objects such as feature classes and raster datasets. You should not store these objects in the ArcSDE administrator’s storage space, since you could possibly crash the ArcSDE service by filling up the ArcSDE administrator’s space
