7 The Database Users Page

The Database Users page enables you to perform user management tasks such as create, edit, enable REST, and delete. The actions available are based on the user privileges (CREATE, ALTER, DROP) granted to you.

Users with no assigned privileges can still access the Database Users page to browse all users. However, the only action available to them is changing their password.

To navigate to the Database Users page, do either of the following:

• In the Launchpad page, click Database Users.

• Click Selectorto display the navigation menu. Under Administration, select Database users.

The Database Users page consists of two parts: Current User and All Users.

Current User

Displays information about the current user such as user name, whether REST Enabled or not, REST Alias, account expiration (in days), and the last login date and time. The icon on the left displays the user status with one of the following colours: green (Open), blue (Locked), and red (Expired).

The URL at the bottom is displayed only if the user is REST Enabled. It provides the URL to the Database Actions user login page. Use Copy to Clipboard to copy the URL to the user's clipboard.

Click Actions to open the context menu. The actions available are:

• Edit: Opens the Edit User Dialog, where you can edit current user information. See About Create/Edit User.

• Enable REST: Enables REST for a user where disabled. When this option is selected the first time, it opens the Enable REST dialog. See About REST Enable User.

• Disable REST: Disables REST where enabled for a user.

• Drop REST Services: Removes the REST data for a user, such as REST Alias, Base Path and so on, which is stored in Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS).

• Delete: Opens the Delete User dialog, where you can delete the user. See About Delete User.

All Users

Displays information about all other users that have been created in the database. You can use the Search field, which is case insensitive, to search for users, or sort the users in ascending or descending order using the sort icons, or filter by user status or REST status.

To create a user, click Create User to open the Create User dialog. For more information, see About Create/Edit User.

There are two views available:

(Card View): Displays the user information in a card view. This is the default display view. Each user card provides details such as user status, password expiry, user name, and the context menu.

(Grid View): Displays the user information in a tabular format. The last column in each row contains the context menu icon.
