Oracle - How to grant to a user the rights to another user's objects

Question

I need to give to user TARGETUSER the rights to select/insert/update to all tables of user SOURCEUSER (I can figure this all out from here) and the ability to run all their stored procedures.

Basically, I wouldn't complain if I can give TARGETUSER the ability for all non-ddl activity with SOURCE_USER's objects. How do I do this?

Answer 1

You can write a simple procedure to do this:

BEGIN
  FOR Rec IN (SELECT object_name, object_type FROM all_objects WHERE owner='SOURCEUSER' AND object_type IN ('TABLE','VIEW','PROCEDURE','FUNCTION','PACKAGE')) LOOP
    IF Rec.object_type IN ('TABLE','VIEW') THEN
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'GRANT SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE ON SOURCEUSER.'||Rec.object_name||' TO TARGETUSER';
    ELSIF Rec.object_type IN ('PROCEDURE','FUNCTION','PACKAGE') THEN
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'GRANT EXECUTE ON SOURCEUSER.'||Rec.object_name||' TO TARGETUSER';
    END IF;
  END LOOP;
END;

Not sure exactly what else you're asking for. You can modify the above to add additional grants and/or object_types for the privileges you want to provide to targetuser. As @stili implies, you can do a lot with roles, but be careful - some permissions do not work when granted via roles.
