ORA-01031: insufficient privileges, when granting system privileges to a new user

aaa11sssdddNov 1 2015 — edited Nov 1 2015

Hello.

While logged in a SYSTEM, I'm trying to create a new user and grant him all the system privileges, but doing so always shows up the following error:

Failed to process SQL command

-

Error starting at line : 123 in command -

GRANT SYSDBA TO TestUser

Error report -

SQL Error: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

01031. 00000 -  "insufficient privileges"

*Cause:    An attempt was made to perform a database operation without

           the necessary privileges.

*Action:   Ask your database administrator or designated security

           administrator to grant you the necessary privileges

After clicking okay, the user is still being created but missing many system privileges.

How can I solve this issue?

I'm using Oracle SQL Developer version 4.1.2.20, and Oracle database 11g express edition.
