Why cant you give a try?
Are you getting any error message?
See below..
SQL> show user
USER is "SCOTT"
SQL> grant select on emp to hr;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> conn
Enter user-name: hr@***
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> show user
USER is "HR"
SQL> create index ndx on scott.emp(sal);
create index ndx on scott.emp(sal)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

Enter user-name: system@*******
Enter password:

SQL> create index ndx on scott.emp(sal);

SQL> grant create any index to hr;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> conn
