gsec is a utility for maintaining users in the security database.  It does not 
accept SQL statements.  Tip: you can run gsec with no arguments to get succinct 
help output that tersely explains each valid gsec command and the various 
switches valid for each.  Users are server-wide in scope (available to all 
databases on the server).

Roles and privileges are specific to each user database.  You use an SQL 
interface program, such as isql or one of many third-party client programs to 
pass CREATE ROLE, GRANT, REVOKE statements to a user database. A role created 
or a privilege granted is not available to databases other than the one in 
which it is created.
