Creating a Role
A user in the role ROLE.MGR can create a new database role, using either the NCI CREATE
ROLE command or the HPDM Add Role dialog. The Add Role dialog lets you add multiple roles
in the same operation.
The Neoview security infrastructure supports up to 255 roles. Because the roles ROLE.MGR,
ROLE.SECMGR, and ROLE.DBA are predefined and cannot be deleted, you can add a maximum
of 252 roles.

Changing a Database Role Password
A user in the role ROLE.MGR can change the password of certain database roles, using either
the NCI ALTER ROLE command or the HPDM Change Role Password dialog. Only a user in
the role ROLE.SECMGR can change the password of the ROLE.SECMGR role.
