Getting an Error while editing user "ORA-01924: role 'DBA' not granted or does not exist"

in Database Administration (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered

Hi, in my autonomous database on Oracle Cloud Free Tier, I'm trying to give my ADMIN user the DBA role and I'm facing this error:

"Error while editing user

ORA-01924: role 'DBA' not granted or does not exist"

I'm facing a similar error while trying to grant SCHEDULER_ADMIN role to my ADMIN user or when I try to grant those roles to an APEX_USER.

Note: My main aim is to give CREATE EXTERNAL JOB privileges to my user.

How do I resolve this error?

Is there any way I can log into the autonomous database as SYS or SYSDBA?
