Yup. Save SCOTT's encrypted password (DBA_USERS), change it to yaddayadda, CONNECT SCOTT/YADDAYADDA, ALTER USER SCOTT IDENTIFIED BY VALUES 'encrypted thing' and nobody has noticed anything; then, being SCOTT, you grant whatever you want. There is a become.sql on the Oriole site which does it, and I have seen very similar versions elsewhere. In fact this is the old way to do it ...
