You cannot change a security field to exclude yourself.

3. When you are done entering user IDs, choose OK. You are prompted to verify the security administrator entries.

4. Click Yes to save the entries or No to return the Security Administrators dialog box. If you click Yes, you are returned to the main menu, and the specified user IDs are stored as security administrators for the database.
