Thanks Stephen. I think I need to reiterate that 'Pre-Approved' means the change does not require approval from the Change Control Board. 'Pre-Approved' does not mean free from structured processes. Users cannot request their own accounts or privileges. Their mgr must do that and justify it.

Things that I know canâ??t be there are: Creating, modifying and removing users Creating, modifying and removing roles Creating, modifying and removing privileges on objects Creating, modifying or removing objects in the database (even database links count here) Things that can be included Any operation that does not alter the integrity of the data or the security of the data Any operation that is deemed maintenance such as exports, backups, reporting è Tuning is questionable because access to the database may be temporarily turned off Hope this helps.
