Thanks a lot. Our problem is, that we use a GUI-based third party tool for these guys = in our department. I don't know which queries lie behind the button for = the user rights. I gave the users Select on DBA_TAB_PRIVS and = DBA_ROLE_PRIVS, so they can query the user rights from SQL-Plus, but = with the tool this doesn't work. I think, I will contact the support = people of the tool.

They = can't only query dba_catalog since this won't tell them which objects a = user can access. They must be using some queries against DBA_TAB_PRIVS = and the like. If you can get their queries, it might be easier to find = the right sufficient role or privileges. Regards, Jerome -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
