Granting group membership to users

The GRANT statement makes a user a member of a group. Membership in a group can be granted either by the DBA or PERMS ADMIN authority.

For example, you can grant user M_Haneef membership in a group personnel as follows:

Connect to the database as a user with DBA or PERMS ADMIN authority.
Grant membership in the group to M_Haneef with the following SQL statement:
```
GRANT MEMBERSHIP 
IN GROUP personnel
TO M_Haneef
```

When users are assigned membership in a group, they inherit all the permissions on tables, views, and procedures associated with that group. If you do not want a specific user to access a particular table, view, or procedure, then do not make that user a member of a group that has permissions on that object.

You cannot revoke permissions for a specific user within a group.
