Privilege and roles Question

Question

Hi All
I did a queries
SELECT GRANTEE, PRIVILEGE,GRANTABLE FROM DBA_TAB_PRIVS
WHERE TABLE_NAME='TABLE1' AND GRANTEE IN ('USER1', 'USER_ROLE');
GRANTEE        PRIVILEGE       GRANTABLE
USER1 SELECT NO
USER1 INSERT NO
USER1 DELETE NO
USER1 UPDATE NO
USER_ROLE SELECT YES
USER_ROLE INSERT YES
USER_ROLE DELETE YES
USER_ROLE UPDATE YES
SELECT 'ROLE' TYP, GRANTEE, GRANTED_ROLE, ADMIN_OPTION FROM DBA_ROLE_PRIVS WHERE GRANTEE ='USER1';
TYP      GRANTEE   GRANTED_ROLE   ADMIN_OPTION
ROLE USER1 CONNECT NO
ROLE USER1 RESOURCE NO
ROLE USER1 USER_ROLE NO
My question is since the USER1 is granted the role of USER_ROLE, will it cause conflict to the table privilege?
Because I can't perform Insert when I'm using USER1. It give me an error of ORA-01031L insufficent privileges SQL source: ..

Answer 1

Since you did not mention how you are performing the Inserts/DML's on the TABLE1, and you are facing privileges issues, I presume you are performing it from a PL/SQL Block. However, the priviliges acquired via a Role are not valid in Function/Procedure. You need to have explicit privileges to perform an action in Function/Procedure.
Even without the privilege, you would be able to perform the Inserts/DML's as in static SQL statements that are not contained in PL/SQL blocks.
Try:
grant insert on table1 to user1;
