Which privilege is required for a role to assign privileges to other users in SAP HANA?

In SAP HANA, the privilege required for a role to assign privileges to other users is the DATA ADMIN privilege. This privilege provides extensive administrative capabilities, including the ability to manage users and their associated privileges. Granting this privilege allows a user or role to perform tasks such as creating, altering, and deleting user privileges, as well as assigning roles to other users, which is crucial for maintaining security and access controls within the system.

In contrast, the ROLE CREATE privilege is specifically used for creating new roles but does not inherently confer the ability to assign those roles or any other privileges to users. The USER ADMIN privilege pertains to managing user accounts but similarly does not encompass privilege assignment capabilities. The ROLE ASSIGN privilege is focused specifically on the assignment of roles to users but doesn't extend to the broader responsibility of privilege management that the DATA ADMIN privilege provides. Thus, it is essential to recognize that the DATA ADMIN privilege is the comprehensive privilege required for the management of user privileges and roles within SAP HANA.
