Add Native Users
Early Adoption Program—EAP
Only users in the useradmin and admin groups have the privilege to maintain other users. For more information, see User Groups.
• To add a warehouse user, you connect as the userdamin privileged user to the User Management database (iidbdb) where the users are maintained, and execute a CREATE USER query.
• To add a database user, you connect as the admin privileged user to your database, and execute a CREATE USER query.
To add native database users in Query Editor
2. From the Connection dropdown menu, select the database to which you want to add a user:
3. Enter query text like the following to create a user:
create user analytics_user with profile=admin, password='AuEhN$*3Q1';
4. Click Run or Run Query.
The statement is run and the user is created.

4. Click Run or Run Query.

All of the following examples can be run in Query Editor or from the command line interface (the Actian SQL CLI, installed with the Avalanche Client Runtime Package).
Note: All examples assume connection to the User Management database (iidbdb). See examples of connections in Overview of User Management.
Example 1
create user testuser1 with profile=useradmin, password='secret';
This example demonstrates how to create a user testuser1 with the privilege to maintain users with read-only access to the sample data and password “secret.”
Example 2
create user testuser2 with profile=user, password='secret';
This example demonstrates how to create a user testuser2 without the privilege to maintain users and read-only access to sample data and password “secret.”
Example 3
create user testuser1 with profile=useradmin, group=dbadmingrp, password='secret';
This example demonstrates how to create a user testuser1 with the privilege to maintain users and the ability to delete and update sample data or other data with user password “secret.”
Example 4
This example demonstrates how testuser1 is granted read-only access to the data owned by dbuser.
Log in to Actian as the user dbuser. Note that demo_table is an example table and is not provided by default.
grant select on dbuser.demo_table to testuser1
User testuser1 is now able to access (read-only) the data held in the dbuser table demo_table.
grant select on dbuser.demo_table to public
This statement would give any user within the db database read-only access to demo_table.
