I'm trying to retrieve the CREATE table statement for multiple tables from oracle SQL Developer so I can run it in SQL Management to create new tables.
However, when highlighting multiple tables and right clicking > Quick DLL> Save to File, my file looks like this:
GRANT INSERT ON "OPSR"."BOOTH" TO "OPSWEB";
GRANT UPDATE ON "OPSR"."BOOTH" TO "OPSWEB";
GRANT SELECT ON "OPSR"."BOOTH" TO "OPSWEB";
GRANT DELETE ON "OPSR"."CAAR_BOOTH" TO "OPSWEB";
GRANT INSERT ON "OPSR"."CAAR_BOOTH" TO "OPSWEB";
GRANT SELECT ON "OPSR"."CAAR_BOOTH" TO "OPSWEB";
GRANT UPDATE ON "OPSR"."CAAR_BOOTH" TO "OPSWEB";
Why is there no CREATE table statements in here?
I'm connected as Opsweb and the only tables I can see are under the OPSR user.
You can't see the create DDL for other user's objects. SQL Developer is using dbms_metadata in the background, and from the documentation:
The object views of the Oracle metadata model implement security as follows:
Nonprivileged users can see the metadata of only their own objects.
Nonprivileged users can also retrieve public synonyms, system privileges granted to them, and object privileges granted to them or by them to others. This also includes privileges granted to PUBLIC.
If callers request objects they are not privileged to retrieve, no exception is raised; the object is simply not retrieved.
If nonprivileged users are granted some form of access to an object in someone else's schema, they will be able to retrieve the grant specification through the Metadata API, but not the object's actual metadata.
and so on. As the last bullet above says, you cen get the grants - which is what you are seeing now - but not the actual metadata.
If your user was granted the select_catalog_role you would be able to get the DDL for OPSR's objects, but you'd have to ask your DBA for that and it would probably be easier to connect as that user, or ask someone else who can to do that to perform the extract for you.

I’m pulling data from mysql ec2 instances, to s3 buckets, then creating views in redshift. I want to create database users who can only query and see certain views created specifically for them in Redshift. I have example code below that I use to create the user, view, and grant access. The issue I have is that I also have to grant access to the underlying schema the view is created from, which means the user can see and query tables in that schema. Also the user can see other schemas in the database, even ones they can’t query. Is there a way to only grant users to specific views, and make it so they can’t see other schemas they don’t have access to?
Code:
--create schema
create schema tst_user_schema;
--create view in schema
create view tst_user_schema.inventory_report_customer as (
select * from user341.inventory_report_customer
)
with no schema binding;
--creating user
CREATE USER tstuser PASSWORD 'tstPassword';
--grant access
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA tst_user_schema TO tstuser;
--grant read access to all tables in schema
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA tst_user_schema TO tstuser;
--grant access
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA user341 TO tstuser;
--grant read access to all tables in schema
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA user341 TO tstuser;
--grant access
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA tst_user_schema TO tstuser;
--grant read access to all tables in schema
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA tst_user_schema TO tstuser;
to recap:
schema user341 - contains source tables, user should not be able to select from tables in this schema. You also want to hide it form the user
tst_user_schema - contains views user is supposed to be able to select from.
Looking at your GRANT statements, you're granting user unnecessarily SELECT permission on ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA user341. For views to work you only need to GRANT USAGE on that schema.
So REVOKE those permissions, and user should not be able to select.
REVOKE SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA user341 FROM tstuser;
Tip: to easily test permissions, you can start a session as tstuser using SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION directive and then test which statements are allowed and which not.
SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION tstuser
Regarding schema visibility - unfortunately there's no way to hide or forbid user from seening all tables and columns in all schemas. One can only restrict access to data.
I would like to know how the privilege SELECT ANY TABLE works internally in Oracle.
Is it treated as a single privilege? Or is it equivalent to make a GRANT SELECT ON MyTable TO MyUser for each table?
As example, I would like to know if this work :
GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO PUBLIC;
REVOKE ALL ON MY_TABLE FROM PUBLIC;
Would I still have access to MY_TABLE from any user after those queries?
Yes, all users would still be able to query MY_TABLE.
You are looking at different privilege types:
The main types of user privileges are as follows:
System privileges—A system privilege gives a user the ability to perform a particular action, or to perform an action on any schema objects of a particular type. For example, the system privilege CREATE TABLE permits a user to create tables in the schema associated with that user, and the system privilege CREATE USER permits a user to create database users.
Object privileges—An objectprivilege gives a user the ability to perform a particular action on a specific schema object. Different object privileges are available for different types of schema objects. The privilege to select rows from the EMPLOYEES table or to delete rows from the DEPARTMENTS table are examples of object privileges.
SELECT ANY TABLE is a system privilege that allows the grantee to:
Query tables, views, or materialized views in any schema except SYS. Obtain row locks using a SELECT ... FOR UPDATE.
When you grant that it is a standalone single privilege, visible in dba_sys_privs. When Oracle decides if the user is allowed to access a table it can look first at system privleges, and only goes on to look for specific object privileges (visible in dba_tab_privs) if there isn't a system privilege that allows the action being performed.
System privileges are not translated into individual privileges on each object in the database - maintaining that would be horrible, as creating a new object would have to automatically figure out who should be granted privileges on it based on the system privilege; and it would mean that you couldn't tell the difference between that and individually granted privileges. So, for instance, if you explicitly granted select privs on a specific table, then the user was granted SELECT ANY TABLE, and then they had SELECT ANY TABLE revoked - what happens to the previous explicit grant?
Your scenario is basically the same, except you've specifed all privileges on the object to be revoked. If those are the only two commands involved then PUBLIC has no explicit privileges on MY_TABLE so revoking doesn't really do anything; but if any explicit privileges on that table had been granted then they would be revoked. That has no impact on the higher-level SELECT ANY TABLE system privileg though.
Privileges are cummulative; revoking a privilege on a specific object doesn't block access to that object, it just removes one possible access route.
Incidentally, hopefully you've used a contrived example, as such powerful system privileges should be granted sparingly and only when really needed. Letting any user query any table in your database potentially blows a big hole in the security model. Again from the docs:
Oracle recommends that you only grant the ANY privileges to trusted users
and
Oracle recommends against granting system privileges to PUBLIC.
and read more in the database security guide.
I am connecting to my SQL studio manager using Power BI (a report writing software). I only want tables appearing listed under a certain schema, and deny permission to access all others, instead of displaying all tables which it currently does.
Usually, when preventing individual users from accessing a schema, I would use the following code:
revoke select on schema::UnwantedSchema to User
grant select on schema::WantedSchema To User
However, now I want it so ALL users and Logins have these permission settings. Not just the individual user. Is there a way I can do this without having to set the permissions for every individual user?
If you wanted to set the privileges to multiple user logins, You need to create a role and assign the role to the ers to that role. The give required permission to the role created.
Following are the sample steps.
--Create a new role
EXEC sp_addrole 'yourRole'
GO
--Assiging role to the user
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'yourRole', 'yourUser';
GO
--Assigning permissions to the Role
GRANT ALTER, DELETE, EXECUTE, INSERT, REFERENCES, SELECT,
UPDATE, VIEW DEFINITION ON SCHEMA::YourSchema TO yourRole;
GO
GRANT CREATE TABLE, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE FUNCTION, CREATE VIEW TO yourRole;
GO
I'm using the Oracle Database EX 11.2.0.2.0 and I hava a quite simple database created there.
Now the issue is i would like to have multiple users with different privileges set up. I have found that topic: How to create a user in Oracle 11g and grant permissions
but I cannot find anywhere the basic thing about users accounts:
what are the difference between creating system-leveled and particular database-leveled user?
I've logged in sqlplus as SYSTEM and executed the following commands:
CREATE USER TEST IDENTIFIED BY password;
GRANT CONNECT TO TEST;
and now the problem is that my databse is actually called let's say BASE with one table called PAYMENTS and to give any privileges to a newly created user I cannot execute:
GRANT SELECT ON PAYMENTS TO TEST;
but I have to type in:
GRANT SELECT ON BASE.PAYMENTS TO TEST;
so I suppose I missed something. Is it any way of connecting the created user to a particular database? So that the newly created user will be visible as a database user in Oracle APEX?
When referencing objects in other schemas, you must provide the schema name. An other user might have a table with the same name. Currently you are logged in with the system user, which is not advisable. When creating objects in the BASE schema (another name for user in de Oracle DB), why not give the user some extra rights (like granting privileges)?
The core of your problem is that you want to grant privileges to user A on object owned by B, logged in as user C. You have to be very specific in that case to Oracle what privileges are granted to whom ;)
Users and schemas are synonymous in Oracle - basically. A schema is the collection of objects owned by a user.
To get what you want, you would need to create users lacking the privs to create anything and only have the ability to select from the objects of others.
I want to create a read-only user in PostgreSQL.
The intention is to have a publicly accessible data explorer, where users can write custom SQL queries.
I do this to create the user:
CREATE USER MyReadOnlyUser WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'MY_WEAK_PASSWORD';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE "MY_DB_NAME" to MyReadOnlyUser;
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA public TO MyReadOnlyUser;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO MyReadOnlyUser;
The intention is to give the user SELECT access to all tables, then revoke select access on the sensitive tables, and then the user can run custom queries with that db user, without any need for me to sanitize input.
Especially, he may not:
insert, delete, truncate, drop table, drop database, create table, create function/procedure, see/execute/create/drop stored procedure / functions. etc.
Sooo - now my question:
Why does this user have access to information_schema ?
It wasn't granted access to any views, and not to the schema information_schema either...
Why does this user have access to information_schema
I think select privilege is granted to PUBLIC by default on information_schema.
You should be able to do:
revoke all on all tables in schema information_schema from public;
You probably also need to revoke the select privilege on views/tables in the pg_catalog schema. But I'm not sure what this will break if e.g. psql or other client tools cannot access that information.
