Revoke a Role From a User
Note these considerations for revoking a role:
• Generally, you must be a user in the ROLE.MGR role to revoke a role from a user using this
procedure. However, a user in the role of ROLE.SECMGR can revoke the ROLE.SECMGR
role from another user.
• If you revoke a secondary role, the role is removed. The primary, or default, role is
unchanged.
• If you revoke a user's default role and the user has no additional roles, the user is removed
from the system.
• If you try to revoke a user's default role and the user has additional roles, an error is returned.
In this case, you must first change the default role to one of the user's additional roles and
then retry revoking the former default role.
NOTE: If you have sufficient privileges, you can also revoke a role from a user by editing the
user definition. See “Change Role or Password Information for a Database User” (page 109) or
“Edit a Platform User” (page 114) .
