If by Oracle Applications you mean Apps 11i, then security is handled within the product itself.

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 -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
