insufficient privileges error on oracle-sql

Question

I am a student, doing a project and one of the questions is to create a user APT1050. However, i am getting an error.

SQL> create user APT identified by abc password expire;
create user APT identified by abc password expire
                              *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

Help?

Answer 1

Apparently, the user you're using doesn't have the create user system privilege. You should use a different user that has this privilege, such as sys or system .
