In HANA database, user SYSTEM is created automatically when you install it. User SYSTEM is the most powerful user in HANA database, so you don’t want to give it to your IT staff carelessly.
For your information, do not use the SYSTEM user for day-to-day activities. Instead, use this user to create dedicated database users for administrative tasks and to assign privileges to these users. It is recommended that you then deactivate the SYSTEM user, but first you must create another one.
