Q&A

Q1:

If a user forgets his or her password, what should the user do to gain access to the database again?

A1:

The user should go to his or her immediate management or an available help desk. A help desk should be able to reset a user's password. If not, the DBA or security officer can reset the password. The user should change the password to a password of his or her choosing as soon as the password is reset and the user is notified.

Q2:

What could I do if I wanted to grant CONNECT to a user, but the user does not need all the privileges that are assigned to the connect role?

A2:

You would simply not grant CONNECT, but only the privileges required. Should you ever grant CONNECT and the user no longer needs all the privileges that go with it, simply revoke CONNECT from the user and grant the specific privileges required.

Q3:

Why is it so important for the new user to change the password when received from whomever created the new user?

A3:

An initial password is assigned upon creation of the user ID. No one, not even the DBA or management, should know a user's password. The password should be kept a secret at all times to prevent another user from logging on to the database under another user's account.
