UTOUG Training Days 2018

Have you ever dropped a table, user, or role by mistake and tried to restore privileges but couldn't remember what to grant or to whom? You queried the dba views only to find what is currently granted, not what was granted. Now, your only option is to guess which grants to make and then wait for people to complain, or processes to fail so you can figure out which grants were missed. Flashback is helpful, but won’t always solve the problem at hand. Creating a historical record of privileges will allow you to restore the correct suite of privileges to users or roles quickly and accurately without guessing. This presentation will provide steps to set up a process to track privileges historically.
