maybe I can help you a little about your user's topic..
for granted permissions maybe you should read the SQL Reference Manual,
the GRANT statement is a basic SQL command that do what you need..

Subject: Re: AW: Sap setup
Hi,
I think what Carl is trying to say - and I completely agree - is that
the information required to complete even simple tasks is quite
difficult to locate, even if the task itself is not so difficult. If you
take the installation manual for example. There are more headers and
links and references and prerequisites and next steps and all than there
is real information.
I know that this is a bit off topic, but I've been trying to install the
DBI::ODBC interface for Perl using SAP DBs ODBC library for the last two
days, and had to go through the docs at 15 different places to finally
get it working. This section of the docs could definitely be improved!
To make it worse in the docs at http://www.sapdb.org/sap_db_program.htm
and in the ODBC Manual it says:
> Create the file /var/spool/sql/ini/odbc.ini and define the data source
names in it
But SAP DB obviously expects the file at /usr/spool/sql/ini/odbc.ini !!!
The driver managers that you are supposed to use need /etc/odbc.ini by
default. All this I found out by trial and error more or less.
The next problem I have is that the users I create with the Database
Manager GUI have no right to create tables or even to select from
existing tables, and I have found no way to grant the rights using the
GUI. So I guess I'll have to read the docs, but which ones? The "User
Manual", the "Database Manager GUI", the "Database Manager CLI" or the
"Reference Manual" ??? Can someone give me a hint please.
The problem is not that there are no docs. The problem is that there are
too many and too confusing. And that doesn't help, if your not really
sure where to start in the first place.
Anyway, it's comforting to see that other people have the same kind of
problems which means that I am probably not as dumb as I think sometimes.
Cheers,
Arne
