User Privileges

How to:

User privileges associated with a directory or other server objects, such as procedures or synonyms, can be managed from the DMC.

Note: These privileges can only be controlled by a user that is logged on to a secure server with a user ID with Server Administrator privileges. If you are logged on with an ID that is not a Server Administrator, you will only have access to view your own privileges. You cannot change them or view the privileges of another user.
