ALTER PROFILE
Valid in: SQL, ESQL, OpenAPI, ODBC, JDBC, .NET
The ALTER PROFILE statement alters a user profile.
A profile provides default attributes for a user.
This statement has the following format:
[EXEC SQL] ALTER [DEFAULT PROFILE | PROFILE profile_name]
[ADD PRIVILEGES( priv {,priv}) | DROP PRIVILEGES( priv {,priv})]
[WITH with_item {, with_item}]
with_item =
NOPRIVILEGES | PRIVILEGES = ( priv {, priv} )
| NOGROUP | GROUP = default_group
| NOSECURITY_AUDIT | SECURITY_AUDIT = ( audit_opt {,audit_opt})
| NOEXPIRE_DATE | EXPIRE_DATE = 'expire_date'
| NODEFAULT_PRIVILEGES | DEFAULT_PRIVILEGES = ( priv {, priv} ) | ALL
ALTER DEFAULT PROFILE
Modifies the settings of a default profile.
ALTER PROFILE profile_name
Modifies the settings of the specified profile. The profile_name can be a delimited identifier. It must be an existing profile.
DEFAULT and a profile_name cannot be specified in the same statement.
ADD PRIVILEGES | DROP PRIVILEGES
Adds or drops privileges to or from the user profile.
Only one of the following can be specified in a single ALTER PROFILE statement:
ADD PRIVILEGES ( priv {, priv})
DROP PRIVILEGES ( priv {, priv})
NOPRIVILEGES
PRIVILEGES = ( priv {, priv} )
priv
Specifies a subject privilege, as described in Create User Syntax.
Note: These are requestable privileges. They must be activated using the SET SESSION ADD PRIVILEGES statement.
GROUP = default_group
Specifies the default group for users with this profile. The group must exist.
Use the NOGROUP option to specify that the user is not assigned to a group.
Default: NOGROUP if the GROUP clause is omitted.
audit_opt
Defines security audit options, as described in Create User Syntax.
EXPIRE_DATE = expire_date
Specifies an optional expiration date associated with each user using this profile. Any valid date can be used. When the expiration date is reached, the user is no longer able to log on.
If NOEXPIRE_DATE is specified, this profile has no expiration date.
DEFAULT_PRIVILEGES = ( priv {, priv} ) | ALL
