That user needs the privilege ``AL`` to create new users and ``DQL`` to perform several checks.

For more information about privileges you can read the `CrateDB privileges documentation <https://cratedb.com/docs/crate/reference/en/latest/admin/privileges.html#administration-privileges>`_.
You will need to create a user if none is available yet.

CREATE USER <username> WITH (password = '<password>');
