How to Add logins/users to SAP Sybase IQ and copy the password from another system!

You will need to create one or more application groups. In the below example we create the mygroup group:

sp_iqaddlogin "mygroup", null;
GRANT CONNECT TO "mygroup";
GRANT GROUP TO "mygroup";

After that you can create a user:

sp_iqaddlogin "henry", null;
GRANT CONNECT TO "henry" IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Note that if you are copying a user from one IQ system to another and want to keep the password, this is a simple thing. You just need to grab the password column of sysuser for the user in question:

select password
from sysuser 
where user_name = "henry";

0x0112fd265040a70f82873c922d2aa5d1cbae597ff18217687d3e0ca45b4e246b74198f1713

You will need to escape each byte in order to add the password:

GRANT CONNECT TO "henry" 
IDENTIFIED BY ENCRYPTED 
'\x01\x12\xfd\x26\x50\x40\xa7\x0f\x82\x87\x3c\x92\x2d\x2a\xa5\xd1\xcb\xae\x59\x7f\xf1\x82\x17\x68\x7d\x3e\x0c\xa4\x5b\x4e\x24\x6b\x74\x19\x8f\x17\x13';

Now we need to add henry to the mygroup group:

GRANT MEMBERSHIP 
IN GROUP "mygroup" to 'henry';

Any and all object permissions should be granted to the group not the user.
