To manage user accounts through SQL, the user must have the RDB$ADMIN role in the security database.No user can connect to the security database remotely, so the solution is that the user connects to a regular database.From there, they can submit any SQL user management command.

Contrary to Firebird 3.0 or earlier, the user does not need to specify the RDB$ADMIN role on connect, nor do they need to have the RDB$ADMIN role in the database used to connect.

To perform user management with gsec, the user must provide the extra switch -role rdb$admin.
