10 Configure Local End Users
Use the SQL statements in this chapter to create, alter, and drop local end users.
A local end user is an application user created and managed directly in the database. Unlike traditional database users, these end users do not own schemas or database objects. However, they can log in directly using password authentication and receive fine-grained data grants.
Additionally, you can map local end users by name to users managed in the application's own user store. This allows the application to connect on behalf of the end user through proxy or trust, without requiring direct password authentication on the database server.
