Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Exadata compute node - Adding user to wheel group

Apr 20, 2021 8:56PM in Exadata General (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered

Hi,

I created a Unix user on the Exadata compute node (Oracle Linux 7).

When logged with this user, if I do 'su - oracle' i get 'permission denied'.

I suppose I can fix it by adding the new user to the 'wheel' group:

gpasswd -a myuser wheel

Is this the right approach ?

Thank you

Mes
