Creating my first table

Question

Hi Guys,
I'm having a really basic problem when creating my first table using Oracle Enterprise Manager (11g)
What I've done is:
1. Log into Enterprise Manager 11g using sys as SYSDBA
2. Created a tablespace called APPLICATIONS
3. Created a user account called SAMPLEAPPLICATION and set its default tablespace to APPLICATIONS
4. Then, without logging out, I've tried to create a new table in the SAMPLEAPPLICATION schema and using the APPLICATIONS tablespace
But unfortunately I'm getting an error message saying something like "Failed to commit: ORA-01950: no privileges on tablespace 'APPLICATIONS' "
The thing I'm not understanding is why the sys user would not be able to create a table on the APPLICATIONS tablespace.
Is the sys user specifically not allowed to do these things because you're not supposed to do these sorts of mundane operations with that account, or is perhaps something else going on?
Many thanks to anyone who can advise
Simon

yep,
What I have found is when creating a table even logged in as SYS even logged in as sys if you try and create a table as another user that user needs permission and quota to own the object.
as an example
logged in as sys
SQL> create user myschema identified by temp ;
SQL> grant create session to my schema ;
SQL> grant create table to my schema ;
SQL> create table myschema.mytable (x varchar2(20), z varchar2(20)) tablespace users ;
create table myschema.mytable (x varchar2(20), z varchar2(20)) tablespace users
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01950: no privileges on tablespace 'USERS'
SQL> alter user myschema quota unlimited on users ;
User altered.
SQL> create table myschema.mytable (x varchar2(20), z varchar2(20)) tablespace users ;
Table created.
