CREATE ROLE creates a role. After a role is created, you can grant privileges to the role and then assign this role to a user or another role. This way, the privileges associated with this role are passed on to users or roles.
<UserManagementPriv />CREATE ROLE <role_name>
role_name: the name of the role. For the naming conventions, see System limits.
Note that the created role name cannot be the same as system-defined roles: root, cluster_admin, db_admin, user_admin, and public.
By default, a user can have a maximum of 64 roles. You can adjust this setting by using the FE dynamic parameter privilege_max_total_roles_per_user. A role can have a maximum of 16 inheritance levels. You can adjust this setting by using the FE dynamic parameter privilege_max_role_depth.
Create a role.
CREATE ROLE role1;
