Table not found error in procedure

Question

i am logged in as user A.
Trying to create a procedure in schema TGT by referring to a table in schema STG.
I can directly select from the table such as
select count(*) from STG.TABLE1; by logging in as USER A.
The above runs fine and gives result set.
But when i try to create a procedure such as
create or replace procedure TGT.delme as
v_cnt number;
begin
select count(*) into v_cnt from STG.TABLE1;
dbms_output.put_line('The count is: ' || v_cnt);
end;
It throws compilation error such as "PL/SQL: ORA-00942 table or view does not exist"
Please let me know the reason. thanks.

Hello
You need to grant select privs on STG.TABLE1 directly to TGT i.e. you can't grant them to a role and then grant the role to TGT. For PL/SQL code to access an object, privs need to be granted directly. So at some point you'll need to issue
GRANT SELECT ON STG.TABLE1 TO TGT
/and you'll either need to do that logged in to stg or logged in as another user that has permissions to do this...
