 User Groups 

The database system administrator (SYSDBA user) or a database administrator (DBA user) can combine database users in user groups.

A user group can either be assigned to the database user class RESOURCE or to the database user class STANDARD.

All database objects defined by members of a certain user group can be identified by the user group name. The owner of a database object of this type is the user group, and not the individual database user. However, each member of a user group can work with the database objects of his or her user group as if they were his or her own database objects.

Privileges can only be granted or removed from the user group as a whole and not from individual members of the group.

For information on the syntax of the SQL statements for user group management, see the Reference Manual under Authorization.
