SQL - CREATE USER

Creates a user in the current database, using the specified password and an optional role. When the role is unspecified, it defaults to writer.

The command was introduced in version 2.2. It is a simple wrapper around the OUser and ORole classes. More information is available at Security.

Syntax

CREATE USER <user> IDENTIFIED BY <password> [ROLE <role>]
  • <user> Defines the logical name of the user you want to create.
  • <password> Defines the password to use for this user.
  • ROLE Defines the role you want to set for the user. For multiple roles, use the following syntax: ['author', 'writer'].

Examples

  • Create a new admin user called Foo with the password bar:

    orientdb> CREATE USER Foo IDENTIFIED BY bar ROLE admin

  • Create a new user called Bar with the password foo:

    orientdb> CREATE USER Bar IDENTIFIED BY Foo
