3. Select Create.
The Create a User screen appears.

User Name
Login name of the user. The name can be a regular or delimited identifier.
For example, to use a numeric user ID, the name must be delimited (enclosed in double quotes, as in "888282").
(For details on delimited identifiers, see the SQL Reference Guide.)

Default Group
(Optional) Default
group (see page
