6. In the object list editor, click on the Review and Deploy Changes button and run
the DDL to deploy the role to the database, following the steps outlined in Section

2.5.2 Assigning privileges
Whenever you create an object, you can give the privileges associated with that object to
the different users available. Figure 2.26 shows the Privileges tab that opens for table
creation in Data Studio. You can use the same Privileges tab to change an existing object
by right-clicking the object and selecting the Manage Privileges action.
Figure 2.26 – Privileges option while creating a table
If you don’t see the user already in the Privileges tab, click the Grant New Privilege button.
A new row is created, which will allow you to select the grantee, and then grant privileges
to the user on that object.
You grant the user the appropriate privilege by selecting the check boxes in the row of the
grid. If you click on an option twice, you can also give the user the authority to grant the
privilege to others (WITH GRANT OPTION). This authority on theMYUSER user is shown in
the ALTER privilege, displayed in Figure 2.26.
For most of the objects that you create in Data Studio, you will find a Privileges tab
wherever applicable, and you can use the above method to give appropriate privileges to
the different users. You can also find the Privileges tab in the Properties view of a user,
where it will allow you to grant privileges on multiple objects for that specific user.
Note:
