Example 20-2 Granting Privileges Using a Local Role

This example script uses a local role, CLOUD_USER, and grants privileges to a local user, SCOTT. You can modify this script as needed for your PDB environment, and run the script within your pluggable database as a privileged administrator (for example, SYS or SYSTEM).

set verify off
 
-- target sample role
define userrole='CLOUD_USER'
 
-- target sample user
define username='SCOTT'
 
create role &userrole;
grant cloud_user to &username;
 
REM the following are minimal privileges to use DBMS_CLOUD
REM - this script assumes core privileges
REM - CREATE SESSION
REM - Tablespace quota on the default tablespace for a user
 
REM for creation of external tables, e.g. DBMS_CLOUD.CREATE_EXTERNAL_TABLE()
grant CREATE TABLE to &userrole;
 
REM for using COPY_DATA()
REM - Any log and bad file information is written into this directory
grant read, write on directory DATA_PUMP_DIR to &userrole;
 
REM grant as you see fit
grant EXECUTE on dbms_cloud to &userrole;
grant EXECUTE on dbms_cloud_pipeline to &userrole;
grant EXECUTE on dbms_cloud_repo to &userrole;
grant EXECUTE on dbms_cloud_notification to &userrole;

Example 20-3 Granting Privileges to an Individual User

You can choose to grant DBMS_CLOUD privileges to an individual user. In this example script, privileges are granted to local user SCOTT. You can modify this script as needed for your PDB environment.

set verify off
 
-- target sample user
define username='SCOTT'
 
REM the following are minimal privileges to use DBMS_CLOUD
REM - this script assumes core privileges
REM - CREATE SESSIONREM - Tablespace quota on the default tablespace for a user
 
REM for creation of external tables, e.g. DBMS_CLOUD.CREATE_EXTERNAL_TABLE()
grant CREATE TABLE to &username;
 
REM for using COPY_DATA()
REM - Any log and bad file information is written into this directory
grant read, write on directory DATA_PUMP_DIR to &username;
 
REM grant as you see fit
grant EXECUTE on dbms_cloud to &username;
grant EXECUTE on dbms_cloud_pipeline to &username;
grant EXECUTE on dbms_cloud_repo to &username;
grant EXECUTE on dbms_cloud_notification to &username;
