I am trying to set up a user in my Oracle 11g database as such
create user BARRY6 IDENTIFIED by password123;
grant connect to BARRY6;
grant create session to BARRY6;
grant UNLIMITED TABLESPACE to BARRY6;
commit;
This should create the user and provides them with the basic permissions.
All commands executes successfully, However i can not connect with this user.
I get an error
An error was encountered performing the requested operation:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
01031. 00000 - "insufficient privileges"
*Cause: An attempt was made to perform a database operation without
the necessary privileges.
*Action: Ask your database administrator or designated security
administrator to grant you the necessary privileges
Vendor code 1031
When i view the USER_ROLE_PRIVS table , there is no permissions in that table for my user
This was happening because the role i was trying to login in as was sysdba. While it should be default.
I know, stupid, but it posting the solution in case other people are creating a user and they make this simple mistake. It was caused by loading the sys connection and just changing the password and not changing the role

I am trying to create a link between two schemas in SQL Developer and I have an error. The querie I am executing is:
CREATE DATABASE LINK dblink
CONNECT TO Matecode IDENTIFIED BY Matecode
USING 'Matecode';
Where Matecode it's the remote user, password and database Schema I want to be conected. Like this:
CREATE DATABASE LINK dblink
CONNECT TO remote_user IDENTIFIED BY password
USING 'remote_database';
But I am receiving this error
00000 - "insufficient privileges"
*Cause: An attempt was made to perform a database operation without
the necessary privileges.
*Action: Ask your database administrator or designated security
administrator to grant you the necessary privileges
The password and the user are ok.
Check you have "create database link" privilege to the schema where you are creating the Database link. if the privilege is not granted use below statement as 'sysdba' user to grant the "create database link" and then try to create the database link.
SQL:
grant CREATE DATABASE LINK to username;
I've created a role called CATDX_OWNER_RPT_RL and granted SELECT privileges on all tables within the schema. I've created a new user and granted both CONNECT, CREATE SESSION. Now I would like to assign the role I created to the new user with the following syntax - GRANT ROLE CATDX_OWNER_RPT_RL TO USER. It returns this error SQL Error: ORA-00990: missing or invalid privilege
00990. 00000 - "missing or invalid privilege"
Reinventing the wheel? Omit ROLE.
GRANT CATDX_OWNER_RPT_RL TO NEW_USER;
I am very new to postgres. One of my project is using an RDS postgres instance, the application team created a user and use that user to create the database.
I am trying to grant default privilege to the default postgres user to this application database by running the command below but I am getting an error message.
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES
FOR USER postgres
IN SCHEMA public
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON TABLES TO postgres;
Error message
ERROR: must be member of role "postgres"
SQL state: 42501
Please advise how I can grant default privilege to postgres user for the database.
You must connect as a superuser to run this command.
I misunderstood my case earlier. Apparently, postgres user was the owner of the database not the app user. So I logged in as postgres and executed the command and it works.
If you did a pgdump to export the database, and then were getting this error on trying to import it. Use -O when creating the pgdump - https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgdump.html
I am the first user of Oracle Database.
Now, I want to create a DB schema called ERDB.
I need to create the ERDB user and granting appropriate privileges to the ERDB user on SQL script file.
CREATE USER dmuser IDENTIFIED BY password
DEFAULT TABLESPACE USERS
TEMPORARY
TABLESPACE TEMP
QUOTA UNLIMITED ON USERS;
GRANT CREATE JOB TO dmuser;
GRANT CREATE MINING MODEL TO dmuser;
GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE TO dmuser;
GRANT CREATE SEQUENCE TO dmuser;
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO dmuser;
GRANT CREATE SYNONYM TO dmuser;
GRANT CREATE TABLE TO dmuser;
GRANT CREATE TYPE TO dmuser;
GRANT CREATE VIEW TO dmuser;
GRANT EXECUTE ON ctxsys.ctx_ddl TO dmuser;
but the error happens, SQL Error: ORA 01031 insufficient privileges;
please help me.
The Oracle documentation clearly states the following:
Prerequisites
You must have the CREATE USER system privilege.
Connect as SYSTEM, no need of SYSDBA and then execute:
CREATE USER user IDENTIFIED BY password
Similarly, execute other command to create the tablespaces and required grants etc.
On a side note, regarding SYSDBA:
Never ever use SYS (or SYSDBA) but for maintenance purpose (startup, shutdown, backup, recover)
SYS/SYSDBA is special
SYS/SYSDBA is Oracle proprietary (try to open a SR/TAR starting with "i did that with SYS/SYSDBA" and you'll see the immediate answer)
SYS/SYSDBA does not act like any other user
When you use SYS/SYSDBA Oracle deactivates some code path and activates others
Whatever you do with SYS/SYSDBA will neither validate nor invalidate the same thing with any other user.
NEVER EVER use SYS/SYSDBA for anything that can be done by another
user. Use SYS/SYSDBA ONLY for something that can't be done by someone
else.
There is a table which when I use to execute a query it gets normally executed but when I compile it in a package it is giving an error for that table saying
insufficient privileges
Any idea what I can do about it ?
The user you are using got the privilege to access the table through a role.
Privileges obtained through roles are not in effect inside a PL/SQL program. You need to grant the select (insert,update,delete) privilege directly to the user in question.
