Create Database privilege at an instance for user/group

jatinder.saundh

Hi,

How do I give create database privielege to a specific user/group at a
particular db2 instance ?
I read about various authorities like SYSCTRL etc. but I am interested
in giving only Create database privilege.

I also came across GRANT <system privilege statement and it seems I
can execute following statement to achieve what I want,
GRANT CREATEDBA to <authorizatio n-name>

I have few queries about above statement,
1. Is it possible to have a group-name as authorization-name? and if
yes then does all the users of the group get the createdba privilege
after executing above statement?
2. when I open db2 CLP, and try to execute above statement, a error is
shown that "A database connection does not exist". isn't this privilege
independent of database? why should I connect to database to execute
this statement.
Regards,
Jatinder

Jatinder,

Depends on your platform. On LUW you can't do that, CREATE DATABASE
requires a minimum of SYSCTRL, which as you note gives other
privileges, too. CREATEDBA is z/OS specific, as I understand it, and
it's been a long, long time since I worked with that so I can't help
you there.

In DB2 for LUW, you certainly can grant privileges to a group.

So, I use a account member of users' group. Doing so will fail...

Authentication at Instance Vs Authentication at Database

by: Raquel | last post by:

I am confused between Authentication at Instance Vs Authentication at Database. Instance authentication is specified at Instance creation time (db2icrt) and is stored in db mgr. cfg. file while Database authentication is specified during the Catalog Database command. So far, so good. But when do each of the authentications come into "picture"? For example, when a remote client attempts to access a database, does it first authenticate at...

Create Database with RESTRICTIVE Option

by: Mark A | last post by:

At first glance it seems like a good idea to use the new RESTRICTIVE option when creating a database to remove public access otherwise granted by default. Then one could grant the required access to specific users. But what about things like these which are normally granted by default to public if the RESTRICTIVE option is not used: 1. EXECUTE WITH GRANT privilege on all functions and procedures in the SYSPROC schema - Allows the user...
