Required Privileges
To grant a role, you must have the WITH ADMIN OPTION privilege on the role. The following users can grant a role to a user or other role:
- User DBC.
- A user who has been granted the specified role WITH ADMIN OPTION.
The creator of a role is automatically granted the specified role WITH ADMIN OPTION.
- A user who has an active role to which the specified role was granted WITH ADMIN OPTION. An active role can be a current role or a nested role of a current role.
A grantor does not need to have any privilege, including WITH ADMIN OPTION, on the grantee to grant a privilege to it, whether the grantee is a role or a user.
