Granting authorities

You grant authorities in much the same way as you grant permissions.

To grant an authority to a user ID

  1. Connect to the database as a user with DBA authority.

  2. Execute a GRANT statement, specifying the authorities you are granting, and the user-id of the recipient.

For example, to grant DBA authority, the appropriate SQL statement is:

GRANT DBA TO user-id;
