Hi,

We have a list of users that are Windows authenticated in sqlplus, but I cannot figure out a way to add them to a role so that they can execute a procedure. What is the command to add an external user to a role?

Procedure name = sp_test123  

SQL> grant execute on sp_test123 to Roleabc   <Granting execute to a role>

Rolename = Roleabc  

User1 = OPS$ABC\U1  

User2 = OPS$ABC\U2  
Thanks

Should be the same way you grant the role to any user:
grant Roleabc to OPS$ABC\U1 ;

Looks like the '\' is an invalid character.  Try with double quotes:
grant Roleabc to "OPS$ABC\U1";
