Create table problem using Dynamic Query

Question

Hi all,
I want to create a temporary table within a stored procedure so I decided to do it using a dynamic query:
create or replace procedure p1
as
begin
execute immediate 'CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE tt(id number(2))';
end;
/ It created successfuly but when I execute that procedure I got:SQL> exec p1;
BEGIN p1; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.P1", line 4
ORA-06512: at line 1 While I can create that table using the same user without any problem!
My question is:What privilege should I grant to user(minimum of privileges please! ) to execute that procedure successfuly?
-Thanks

Hi,
To say a little bit more about Nicolas' answer:
SQL> grant create table to scott;
This is the right answer, but you might wonder why you have to do so if you usually can create tables with this user..
11:59:19 TEST.SQL>CREATE USER UTEST
11:59:28   2  IDENTIFIED BY UTEST;
User created.
11:59:35 TEST.SQL>CREATE ROLE RTEST;
Role created.
11:59:40 TEST.SQL>GRANT RTEST TO UTEST;
Grant succeeded.
11:59:45 TEST.SQL>GRANT CREATE SESSION TO RTEST;
Grant succeeded.
11:59:54 TEST.SQL>GRANT CREATE TABLE TO RTEST;
Grant succeeded.
12:00:03 TEST.SQL>GRANT UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO UTEST;
Grant succeeded.
12:00:17 TEST.SQL>CREATE PROCEDURE UTEST.CT_TEST
12:00:32   2  IS
12:00:33   3  BEGIN
12:00:35   4  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE UTEST.TTEST (A NUMBER)';
12:00:56   5  END;
12:00:58   6  /
Procedure created.
12:00:59 TEST.SQL>EXEC UTEST.CT_TEST;
BEGIN UTEST.CT_TEST; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at "UTEST.CT_TEST", line 4
ORA-06512: at line 1
12:01:06 TEST.SQL>GRANT CREATE TABLE TO UTEST;
Grant succeeded.
12:01:15 TEST.SQL>EXEC UTEST.CT_TEST;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.Don't forget that when you're using PL/SQL, privileges granted via roles are ignored!
