Assigning a Profile to a User

A profile
serves two purposes: first, it can limit the resource usage of some resources, and second, it can
enforce password-management rules.
The default profile is appropriately named default. To explicitly assign a profile to a user,
include the keywords PROFILE profile_name in the CREATE USER or ALTER USER statement.



If you grant a system privilege WITH ADMIN OPTION and later revoke that privilege, the privileges
created by the grantee will not be revoked. Unlike object privileges, revocation of system
privileges does not cascade.
