Hi Stefan, since 8 (i?): have a look at AUTHID CURRENT USER in the docs. This enables using of database roles.
Greetings, Guido >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 14.07.2003 14.30 Uhr >>> Hi list I was wondering if there is any way to get the following to work: User A owns all tables, users B,C own PL/SQL code to access A's tables. To work with A's tables from user B and C, I would like to create a role to contain all the object privileges and grant these to B and C. Didn't use to work, since PL/SQL is not particularly interested in grants received through roles. But I don't really want to grant all privileges directly to B and C (and many more users). Is there a way in 9i that works better ? Any improvements I missed out on ?
