The DBA or user with USER ADMIN authority can create new users using the CREATE USER statement. For example:
Adding a new user to a database
This example adds user ID M_Haneef to a database with password welcome.
From Interactive SQL, connect to the database as a user with DBA or USER ADMIN authority.
Issue the SQL statement:
CREATE USER M_Haneef IDENTIFIED BY welcome
By default, new users are not assigned any permissions beyond connecting to the database and viewing the system tables. In order to access tables in the database they need to be assigned permissions.
The DBA can set the permissions granted automatically to new users by assigning permissions to the special PUBLIC user group, as discussed in “Special groups”.
You may want to put commands for setting up new users into a dbisql command file. Command files help you standardize the way you perform processes you repeat over time. For details on using command files, see Chapter 2, “Using Interactive SQL (dbisql),” in the Utility Guide.
