Hello there,

I have our OS Systems Admin guys who are putting in automation for the online backup of our production db. They need a db username and password to do this. Since it is production I am reluctant to part with the system username and password.

If I create a user for them, what privileges would I need to provide this user to ensure that they can perform the instructions (i.e put tablespaces in backup mode)?

Thanks in advance,
Nirasha
