To create a user and assign permissions in the Oracle database, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log in to the Oracle database using the sys user.<\/li>\n
  2. Execute the following SQL statement to create a new user:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    CREATE<\/span> USER<\/span> new_user IDENTIFIED BY<\/span> password;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    new_user is the username to be created, and password is the user’s password.<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. Grant the permission required for new users. For example, if you want to grant a new user SELECT permission on a table, you can execute the following SQL statement:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      GRANT<\/span> SELECT<\/span> ON<\/span> table_name TO<\/span> new_user;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      The table_name is the name of the table to be granted permission to.<\/p>\n
        \n
      1. If additional permissions need to be assigned to new users, you can continue to use the GRANT statement to grant other permissions.<\/li>\n
      2. Finally, use the COMMIT statement to save the changes and exit the database.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        COMMIT<\/span>;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        By following the above steps, you can successfully create a user and assign permissions in the Oracle database.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
