to activate their account. The new users' status is Pending and the users cannot log in until they activate the
account.
The new user appears in the Users list.
Add Roles to an Organization
Roles enable you to group the permissions required to perform tasks associated with a job, such as the job of
database administrator. You can then grant the role to users rather than granting individual permissions
needed for each task. You can add custom roles to your organization and grant them to the users who are
responsible for performing particular jobs.
Prerequisites
n
You are logged in to Data Director.
n
You have the OrgAdmin role with permissions on all objects in the organization, or permissions for the
organization in which to create the role.

You have grant and revoke permissions on objects.
