[b]create users and roles in oracle 9.2 db[/b]

Question

Could some one tell which utility is used to create new roles and new users in Oracle 9.2.0.1 db and how.
Thanks.

Answer 1

CREATE ROLE
Purpose
Use the CREATE ROLE statement to create a role, which is a set of privileges that can be granted to users or to other roles. You can use roles to administer database privileges. You can add privileges to a role and then grant the role to a user. The user can then enable the role and exercise the privileges granted by the role.
A role contains all privileges granted to the role and all privileges of other roles granted to it. A new role is initially empty. You add privileges to a role with the GRANT statement.
When you create a role that is NOT IDENTIFIED or is IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY or BY password, Oracle grants you the role with ADMIN OPTION. However, when you create a role IDENTIFIED GLOBALLY, Oracle does not grant you the role.
