How do you create a new user in SAP HANA?

Creating a new user in SAP HANA is accomplished through the SQL command CREATE USER. This command specifically allows you to define a new user including setting attributes like the username and password. In a database management context, this approach is efficient for automation and integration into scripts or applications, ensuring consistency in user creation.

Using SQL commands like CREATE USER is essential in environments where database administrators interact programmatically with the database. This method is also advantageous in version-controlled scripts where user creation needs to be repeatable across multiple instances or environments.

The other options focus on roles and interfaces that do not directly accomplish the task of creating a user. While graphical user interfaces can provide a means to create users, they are not as versatile as the command line, which allows for more complex operations and batch processing. Similarly, while cloning an existing user can be useful for quickly replicating user settings, it is not the standard method for creating a new, distinct user. Lastly, creating a role is relevant to user permissions but does not involve user creation in itself.
