Create Users Privilege

Enabling the Create Users privilege allows the group granted the privilege to add new users to a specific database group in the catalog and to delete existing users from a specific group.

Because the Create Users privilege is granted only for specific groups, it is possible to have specialized administrators of the database. For example, there could be a SalesAdmin group that is granted the privilege to create new users only for the Sales group. The director of sales would then be made a member of the SalesAdmin group so that the director could add users to or delete users from the Sales group without having to request such changes from the main administrator.

Note: The Create Users privilege cannot be assigned to the <PUBLIC> group.
