Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Question related to security
Dennis - In reflecting on your question, I have to wonder whether you don't
have a larger problem. Since your email address doesn't end in "cia.gov", I
have to ask whether you as a DBA can adequately manage this application. If
I were given this request, I would tell the developer "let's go find the
person who can authorize your access and they will have the password". I
have forgotten the password for some userids, but I would be reluctant to
take responsibility for an application where we didn't have the password.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Hi all -
I have an interesting problem at hand - we have a request from a developer
that ask to access some tables owned by a user generated by third party app.
Since I don't have the password for this user and system/sys do not have
admin option on these tables, I can't grant select to the developer.
Changing password for this app can be tricky and will be used as last
resort. My question is is there anything else I can do to meet this request?
Thanks
Dennis
