About Users Node

The Users node displays all local, external and global users (or schemas) that you have selected in the Filters Tab on the Connection Dialog.

How the Users Node Works

The Users node is visible from the Server Explorer tree when using the object view. You enable the object view by right-clicking the connection node and selecting Change View, then Objects.

To perform actions on the Users node: right-click the node and from the menu, choose the appropriate command. To view the node’s properties, select the node and/or click Properties in the node’s menu.

If this collection node is filtered, the icon changes to include a funnel symbol. For more information about filtering, see Filtering Collection Nodes.

Menu Options

Menu Option	Description
New User	Launches the designer to create a new user.
Generate Create Script	Writes the user definitions to a `.sql` file.
Generate Create Script to Project	Generates the user definitions to a .`sql` file and adds the `.sql` file to an open Oracle Database Project. If multiple objects in Server Explorer are selected, a master SQL script is created in the Oracle Database Project Scripts folder. This master script contains calls to individual child SQL scripts (one for each schema object) generated into the various schema object folders and this master script is ordered with dependencies taken into consideration. If there are multiple open Oracle Database projects, Visual Studio prompts you to select the project to add the script to. This operation can also be performed by dragging and dropping the Server Explorer node(s) directly onto a database project folder. See Managing Oracle Script Files for more information. Note: Oracle Database Project Version 2 projects are not supported. To add scripts to this project type, use Import Schema or Add Existing Item menu items on an Oracle Database Project Version 2 project folder, or use the Schema Compare tool.
Filters	Opens the Filters Tab to control which child nodes appear under the collection.
Privileges	Opens the privileges dialog.
Refresh	Refreshes the users node.
Properties	Displays the properties window.
