Hi all,

Can we get the user that created a role? Or the role does not have any owner.

Thank you.

Roles are independent to users.
The case belo depicts this point:

Quote:

SQL> create user test123 identified by test123;

User created.

SQL> grant dba to test123;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> conn test123/test123@orcl9i
Connected.
SQL> create role role_test;

Role created.

SQL> select * from dba_roles where role='ROLE_TEST';

ROLE PASSWORD
------------------------------ --------
ROLE_TEST NO

SQL> conn sys/sys@orcl9i as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> drop user test123;

User dropped.

SQL> select * from dba_roles where role='ROLE_TEST';

ROLE PASSWORD
------------------------------ --------
ROLE_TEST NO

SQL> grant role_test to scott;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> revoke role_test from scott;

Revoke succeeded.

SQL>

Yes, a role doesn't have any owner (actually can't find any doc/article/view which tells about ownership of roles.).

Thanks for your reply. Does this means that I would not know a particular role is created by who?

Enable auditing for the system privilege "CREATE ROLE" & then check auditing information.
