Workarounds are: - grant privileges directly to the user (what a pain) - define the procedure/package with invoker's rights - see eg http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/oracle/guide8i/ch03_01.htm Regards Nigel Well known feature: privileges granted to a role are not normally seen from PL/SQL stored procs, which execute as if you had SET ROLE NONE – see http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/plsql_privs.html.
