Bill,

Triggers are not directly executed by users.
Triggers are indirectly executed when the user executes a DML-statement (an 
insert, update or delete statement).

So, there is no concept of 'granting someone execute on a trigger'.
Instead you grant someone to perform DML on a table (that has triggers attached 
to it).

I don't see how creating a public synonym for a trigger could 'fix' a problem, 
you were experiencing with regards to triggers executing or not.

Greetings,

I have been playing around trying to grant execute on a trigger to a
particular user. After playing with this for a while and reading docs I
have come to the conclusion that execute on a trigger is not an allowed
grant. Instead the access is given via a public synonym. For example,
give the particular trigger, usera.trigger. If usera wants to allow
userb to use the trigger it is sufficient merely to create a public
synonym, create public synonym trigger on usera.trigger and user b will
then be able to use the trigger. Seems to simplistic for me, is that
correct or am I missing something?

Thanks.
