Create user like

Question

Hi
I want to create a new user with exactly same roles and priveleges with a user which is created before.
How can I do that in Oracle 9i ? There is no enterprise manager

Hello,
YOu can genric script like in this example and create different users with the same privs and grants. It will prompt you to enter username and tablespace name, you can also do same for the password
CREATE USER &username
IDENTIFIED BY "password"
DEFAULT TABLESPACE &tsname
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP
PROFILE DEFAULT
ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
GRANT IMP_FULL_DATABASE TO &username;
GRANT RESOURCE TO &username;
GRANT EXP_FULL_DATABASE TO &username;
GRANT CONNECT TO &username;
ALTER USER &username DEFAULT ROLE NONE;
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO &username;
GRANT ALTER SYSTEM TO &username;
BEGIN
Not sure that the script is going to work foolproof. For example, I don't think that there is a need to give explicit create session when already user is getting connect role in 10g . Also resource role comes with an unlimited tablespace priv , a big NO IMO to be given just to anyone. A much better option than this can be to make stand alone user-created roles for all the different types of users and grant them to the users when they are created. By this, all one would need to do is to issue a create user and couple of grant role commands and he is done.
