Create additional users and groups as required by Oracle. Before creating Oracle users and groups, see the Oracle documentation.

You must assign Oracle Inventory as the primary group and dba as the secondary group. Oracle requires secondary groups for identifying operating system accounts that have database administrative (SYSDBA) privileges and for those accounts that have limited sets of database administrative (SYSOPER) privileges. Create the groups on all systems and assign the Oracle user to these groups.

Use one of the following ways to create the Oracle user and groups:
