ORA-01031: insufficient privileges problem

Question

Hi all,
I am trying to create the below procedure in the BOLMIN schema which in turn selects data from the tables of VALMIN schema. and I get ORA-01031: insufficient privileges error.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE BOLMIN.prcs_load_data
IS
BEGIN
FOR c
IN (SELECT DISTINCT AL4.GOAL_TEXT,
AL5.RESPONSE_TEXT,
AL7.SAMPLE_ID,
AL7.ACADEMY_NAME,
AL8.NAME
FROM VALMIN.USER_PROFILE AL3,
VALMIN.STUDENT_GOALS AL4,
VALMIN.STUDENT_QUESTION_DETAILS AL5,
VALMIN.STUDENT_QUESTION_RESPONSE AL6,
VALMIN.SAMPLE AL7,
VALMIN.NAME AL8
WHERE ( AL3.GOAL_ID = AL4.GOAL_ID(+)
AND AL3.USER_ID = AL6.USER_ID(+)
AND AL6.QUESTION_TYPE_SUB_ID = AL5.QUESTION_TYPE_SUB_ID(+)
AND AL7.NAME_ID = AL8.NAME_ID(+)))
LOOP
NULL;
END LOOP;
END;
I checked the grants of each of the VALMIN schema tables involved in the associated sql query & they all have SELECT grant (to BOLMIN schema). Also, the SQL query itself, when executed in BOLMIN schema runs perfectly fine. The problem is occurring only when I enclose the query in a procedure. Isn't that weird? or am I missing something here? Any help regarding this issue is appreciated. Thanks.
The BOLMIN schema as CREATE PROCEDURE privilege as I have already created other procedures for other purposes.
Thanks,
Sirisha

All Roles are disabled in PL/SQL and explicit privileges are needed right from creating procedures to the accessing the underlying tables.WRONG. Roles are disabled in definer rights stored objects - stored procedures, functions, packages triggers. Stored procedures, functions, packages with authid current user and anonymous PL/SQL block honor roles.
