Users appearing against roles

Question

Hello,
  I'm wondering if anybody has had a similar experience to us.
BASIS have been applying SP's in SRM and ECC, so I removed the group/role mappings in the portal whilst they were doing it to stop user access. Once applied I went back to put the groups back onto the roles and found that approx. 2000 users had been linked to some of the roles. (not in a group, individually). There are only four people with the ability to do this, including myself, and none of them have done this. Anyone any ideas where they could have come from or what could have happend ? Are there any logs which hold role update transactions ?
   Much obliged,
        Phil.

I have created new users who cannot access objects granted to public.That's actually a pretty hard thing to do. Would you mind sharing how you managed to achieve that?
Also, what error messages are you getting?
If you can do it, the best thing is you show us all the code you're running by doing cut'n'paste from SQL*Plus. You can format it using [pre] and [/pre] tags, to make it easier for us to read.
My guess is, though, that you are not prefixing the object with the object owner, like this....
SQL> conn apc/apc
Connected.
SQL> SELECT count(*) FROM scott.emp;
  COUNT(*)
        14
SQL> If you want to query like this...
SQL> SELECT count(*) FROM emp;
  COUNT(*)
        14
SQL> ...you'll need to create a synonym, probably a public one seeing as how the access is granted to PUBLIC. You can read about synonyms in the online documentation, which is highly recommended.
