Create/Edit User

This dialog box is used for creating a new database user or editing an existing database user. The user properties are grouped under several tabs.

To create or edit a database user, the user associated with your database connection must have the DBA role. You should also be familiar with the main concepts and techniques documented in Oracle Database Administrator's Guide and in the chapter about managing security for Oracle Database users in Oracle Database Security Guide.

User tab

Specifies general properties for the database user.

User Name: The user name string. For an existing user, this field is read-only; to change the name, you must drop the user and create a new user with the desired name.

New Password: Password string for the new user, or new password for an existing user. You must also type the same password string for Confirm Password.

Password Expired: If this option is checked, the password is marked as expired, and the user must change the password before being permitted to connect to the database.

Account Locked: If this option is checked, the user will not be permitted to connect to the database until a DBA user unlocks the account associated with this user.

Roles tab

Specifies roles to be granted to the user. For each role, you can check Granted to grant the role, Admin to permit the user to grant the role to other users, and Default to use the default settings for Granted and Admin.

For convenience, you can click buttons to affect all settings (Grant All, Revoke All, Admin All, Admin None, Default All, Default None); then, you can specify other settings for individual roles.

System Privileges tab

Specifies privileges to be granted to the user. For each privilege, you can check Granted to grant the privilege, and Admin to permit the user to grant the privilege to other users.

For convenience, you can click buttons to affect all settings (Grant All, Revoke All, Admin All, Admin None); then, you can specify other settings for individual privileges.

Quotas tab

Specifies disk usage limits on specified tablespaces for the user. If you check Unlimited, there is no disk usage limit on the tablespace.

SQL tab

Displays the SQL statements that SQL Developer will use to create (after executing a CREATE USER statement) a new user or to edit an existing user. This display is read-only; if you want to make any changes, go back to the relevant tabs and make the changes there.
