Can someone advise me on how to create a user in Oracle 11g and only grant that user the ability only to execute one particular stored procedure and the tables in that procedure.
I am not really sure how to do this!
Connect as SYSTEM.
CREATE USER username IDENTIFIED BY apassword;
GRANT CONNECT TO username;
GRANT EXECUTE on schema.procedure TO username;
You may also need to:
GRANT SELECT [, INSERT] [, UPDATE] [, DELETE] on schema.table TO username;
to whichever tables the procedure uses.
Follow the below steps for creating a user in Oracle.
--Connect as System user
CONNECT <USER-NAME>/<PASSWORD>#<DATABASE NAME>;
--Create user query
CREATE USER <USER NAME> IDENTIFIED BY <PASSWORD>;
--Provide roles
GRANT CONNECT,RESOURCE,DBA TO <USER NAME>;
--Provide privileges
GRANT CREATE SESSION, GRANT ANY PRIVILEGE TO <USER NAME>;
GRANT UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO <USER NAME>;
--Provide access to tables.
GRANT SELECT,UPDATE,INSERT ON <TABLE NAME> TO <USER NAME>;
The Oracle documentation is comprehensive, online and free. You should learn to use it. You can find the syntax for CREATE USER here and for GRANT here,
In order to connect to the database we need to grant a user the CREATE SESSION privilege.
To allow the new user rights on a stored procedure we need to grant the EXECUTE privilege. The grantor must be one of these:
the procedure owner
a user granted execute on that procedure with the WITH ADMIN option
a user with the GRANT ANY OBJECT privilege
a DBA or other super user account.
Note that we would not normally need to grant rights on objects used by a stored procedure in order to use the procedure. The default permission is that we execute the procedure with the same rights as the procedure owner and, as it were, inherit their rights when executing the procedure. This is covered by the AUTHID clause. The default is definer (i.e. procedure owner). Only if the AUTHID is set to CURRENT_USER (the invoker, that is our new user) do we need to grant rights on objects used by the procedure. Find out more.
Don't use these approach in critical environment like TEST and PROD. Below steps are just suggested for local environment. For my localhost i create the user via these steps:
IMPORTANT NOTE : Create your user with SYSTEM user credentials.Otherwise you may face problem when you run multiple application on same database.
CONNECT SYSTEM/<<System_User_Password>>#<<DatabaseName>>; -- connect db with username and password, ignore if you already connected to database.
Then Run below script
CREATE USER <<username>> IDENTIFIED BY <<password>>; -- create user with password
GRANT CONNECT,RESOURCE,DBA TO <<username>>; -- grant DBA,Connect and Resource permission to this user(not sure this is necessary if you give admin option)
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO <<username>> WITH ADMIN OPTION; --Give admin option to user
GRANT UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO <<username>>; -- give unlimited tablespace grant
EDIT: If you face a problem about oracle ora-28001 the password has expired also this can be useful run
select * from dba_profiles;-- check PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME
ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME UNLIMITED; -- SET IT TO UNLIMITED
As previously mentioned multiple times in the comments, the use of the CONNECT, RESOURCE and DBA roles is discouraged by Oracle.
You have to connect as SYS to create your role and the user(s) which are given this role. You can use SQL Developer or SQL*Plus as you prefer. Do not forget to mention the SYSDBA role in the logon string. The connect_identifier uses different syntaxes.
sqlplus sys/<<password>>#<<connect_identifier>> as sysdba
Let's say you have a 12cR1 like the one provided as a VM with the "Oracle Technology Network Developer Day". The connect strings might be (to connect to the provided PDB) :
sqlplus sys/oracle#127.0.0.1/orcl as sysdba
sqlplus sys#"127.0.0.1/orcl" as sysdba -- to avoid putting the pw in clear
Note that under Unix, the quotes have to be escaped otherwise they will be consumed by the shell. Thus " becomes \".
Then you create the role MYROLEand grant it other roles or privileges. I added nearly the bare minimum to do something interesting :
create role myrole not identified;
grant create session to myrole;
grant alter session to myrole;
grant create table to myrole;
Next your create the user MYUSER. The string following identified by which is the password is case-sensitive. The rest is not. You could also use SQL delimited identifiers (surrounded by quotes ") instead of regular identifiers which are converted tu uppercase and subject to a few limitations. The quota could be unlimited instead of 20m.
create user myuser identified by myuser default tablespace users profile default account unlock;
alter user myuser quota 20m on users;
grant myrole to myuser;
Eventually, you connect as your new user.
Please note that you could also alter the default profile or provide another one to customize some settings as the expiration period of passwords, the number of permitted failed login attempts, etc.
CREATE USER USER_NAME IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD;
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO USER_NAME;
CREATE USER books_admin IDENTIFIED BY MyPassword;
GRANT CONNECT TO books_admin;
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, DBA TO books_admin;
GRANT CREATE SESSION GRANT ANY PRIVILEGE TO books_admin;
GRANT UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO books_admin;
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON schema.books TO books_admin;

First step:
Connect to a database using System/Password;
second Step:
create user username identified by password; (syntax)
Ex: create user manidb idntified by mypass;
third Step:
grant connect,resource to username; (Syntax)
Ex: grant connect,resource to manidb;
step 1 .
create user raju identified by deshmukh;
step 2.
grant connect , resource to raju;
step 3.
grant unlimitted tablespace to raju;
step4.
grant select , update , insert , alter to raju;

I have created a user, let's call him C##USER from sysdba. Now, I'm trying to create another user from C##USER. Problem is I keep getting the following error:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
I have granted C##USER all privileges and have set the default role to ALL. Nothing works yet...
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
You just need a CREATE USER system privilege BUT don't forget to use CONTAINERclause which should be set to ALL, if you omit this clause then the grantee will have CREATE USER system privilege on the current container.
Specify CONTAINER = ALL to commonly grant a system privilege, object privilege on a common object, or role, to a common user or common role
GRANT
When a common user account is created, the account is created in all of the open pluggable databases. So the user who is creating this new user must have CREATE USER system privilege on all containers.
SQL> grant create user to c##user container=all;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> conn c##user
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> create user c##user2 identified by user2;
User created.
Whenever I give a user "all privileges" in ORACLE (example below), what does this actually do?
My understanding is that it gives a user any privilege, e.g inserting, deleting etc within that schema but not to any schema in the DB?
grant all privileges to my_user;
You can grant all [privileges] on <some object>, but you aren't specifying an object; so you are granting system privileges:
The documentation for system privileges says:
Oracle Database provides the ALL PRIVILEGES shortcut for granting all the system privileges listed in Table 18-1, except the SELECT ANY DICTIONARY, ALTER DATABASE LINK, and ALTER PUBLIC DATABASE LINK privileges.
System privileges are not always restricted to a schema. That table includes a lot of ANY privileges, which are specifically not restricted to a schema. If you grant all privileges to a user they will be able to create or alter a table in any schema, for example. That probably isn't what you want.
There is no shortcut to grant only schema-restricted privileges. You'll need to grant CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, etc. explicitly.
It's common practice to create a role to which you grant the necessary privileges, and then you just have to grant that role to your users. (Although you sometimes still need to grant privileges directly to users, e.g. if they are required in a stored procedure).
I create user(schema) in oracle. like this
create user EMP_DB identified by netsolpk account unlock;
But when i tried login through schema name and password, login failed. Below is the error message.
user EMP_DB lacks create session privilage; login denied.
I've not created any tablespaces.
For this, do I need to create any tablespace? If needed, how to create a tablespace?
And what more things are required for creating a schema in oracle 11g.
Please help me and give me step by step procedure.
The error user EMP_DB lacks create session privilage; login denied indicates that you need privilege to create a session. So you need to grant the appropriate privilege like,
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO emp_db;
Or You can go with granting the roles(group of privileges), CONNECT and RESOURCE.
CONNECT role has only CREATE SESSION privilege.
RESOURCE has the following privilges,
CREATE TRIGGER
CREATE SEQUENCE
CREATE TYPE
CREATE PROCEDURE
CREATE CLUSTER
CREATE OPERATOR
CREATE INDEXTYPE
CREATE TABLE
To find these PRIVILEGES of a ROLE, You can query the DBA_SYS_PRIVS table with a query like this:
SELECT grantee, privilege, admin_option
FROM DBA_SYS_PRIVS
WHERE grantee='RESOURCE';
Also to use the existing tablespace USERS, You can create a user with QUOTA UNLIMITED statement like,
CREATE USER emp_db IDENTIFIED BY netsolpk QUOTA UNLIMITED on USERS;
the fastest, quickest way to create a new user with privileges is
grant connect, resource to NewUser_name identified by NewUser_password;
by this command you will be sure that errors like above will not displayed.
I was googling about how to create a user and grant all privileges to him.
I found these two methods :
The first method :
create user userName identified by password;
grant connect to userName;
grant all privileges to userName;
The second method :
grant connect , resource to userName identified by password;
So what's the difference between those two methods ?
There are 2 differences:
2 methods creating a user and granting some privileges to him
create user userName identified by password;
grant connect to userName;
and
grant connect to userName identified by password;
do exactly the same. It creates a user and grants him the connect role.
different outcome
resource is a role in oracle, which gives you the right to create objects (tables, procedures, some more but no views!). ALL PRIVILEGES grants a lot more of system privileges.
To grant a user all privileges run you first snippet or
grant all privileges to userName identified by password;
My issue was, i am unable to create a view with my "scott" user in oracle 11g edition. So here is my solution for this
Error in my case
SQL>create view v1 as select * from books where id=10;
insufficient privileges.
Solution
1)open your cmd and change your directory to where you install your oracle database.
in my case i was downloaded in E drive so my location is
E:\app\B_Amar\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN>
after reaching in the position you have to type sqlplus sys as sysdba
E:\app\B_Amar\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN>sqlplus sys as sysdba
2) Enter password: here you have to type that password that you give at the time of installation of oracle software.
3) Here in this step if you want create a new user then you can create otherwise give all the privileges to existing user.
for creating new user
SQL> create user abc identified by xyz;
here abc is user and xyz is password.
giving all the privileges to abc user
SQL> grant all privileges to abc;
grant succeeded.
if you are seen this message then all the privileges are giving to the abc user.
4) Now exit from cmd, go to your SQL PLUS and connect to the user i.e enter your username & password.Now you can happily create view.
In My case
in cmd E:\app\B_Amar\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN>sqlplus sys as sysdba
SQL> grant all privileges to SCOTT;
grant succeeded.
Now I can create views.
I've created two users using the below statements using the System user. I want the ADMIN_USER to have all privileges and this user will create a set of tables. I have an external process that is pumping in data for two of my tables created by the ADMIN_USER. The question I have is if the ADMIN_USER creates all the table structures, how do I give EXTERNAL_USER the capability to read, update and insert into TABLE_A and TABLE_B only? Would I run the grant statements when I'm logged in as ADMIN_USER or the SYSTEM user? I'm using Oracle 11g.
Created both while logged in as SYSTEM User:
create user "ADMIN_USER" identified by "p#ssword123";
grant create session, grant any privilege to ADMIN_USER;
create user "EXTERNAL_USER" identified by "p#ssword321";
Logged in as ADMIN_USER:
GRANT create session, select, update, insert
ON TABLE_A
TO EXTERNAL_USER;
GRANT create session, select, update, insert
ON TABLE_B
TO EXTERNAL_USER;
First off, it is terribly unlikely that you want to grant ADMIN_USER the GRANT ANY PRIVILEGE privilege. The user doesn't require any privileges in order to grant object-level privileges on tables that the user owns. The ANY privileges are terribly powerful. A user that can grant any privilege to another user can make any user (including the user itself) a DBA. That is not what you want.
Realistically, as SYSTEM, you want to grant the system privileges that you want the users to have. As the object owner, you would then grant the object-level privileges.
As SYSTEM
CREATE USER admin_user
IDENTIFIED BY "p#ssword123"
DEFAULT TABLESPACE tablespace_name
QUOTA 10M ON tablespace_name;
CREATE USER external_user IDENTIFIED BY "p#ssword321";
GRANT CREATE SESSION, CREATE TABLE TO admin_user;
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO external_user;
As ADMIN_USER
<<create the tables>>
GRANT select, insert, update
ON table_a
TO external_user;
GRANT select, insert, update
ON table_b
TO external_user;
A DBA should also be able to grant object-level privileges. It's generally preferable to use the object owner account for that.
