3 Give the personnel user ID the permission to have members, with the
following SQL statement:
GRANT GROUP TO personnel
The GROUP permission, which gives the user ID the ability to have members,
is not inherited by members of a group. If this were not the case, then every
user ID would automatically be a group as a consequence of membership in the
special PUBLIC group.

ID. You can grant user
M_Haneef membership in a group personnel as follows:
1 Connect to the database as a user with DBA authority, or as the group user
ID
personnel .
2 Grant membership in the group to M_Haneef with the following SQL
statement:

TO M_Haneef
When users are assigned membership in a group, they inherit all the
permissions on tables, views, and procedures associated with that group.
