Standard approach would be to have DBA_ACCESS_ACCOUNT with ALTER USER priv. Create definer rights PL/SQL package w/ procedures for locking, unlocking, and password reset.

Then, create accounts for level 2 support personnel. Their accounts get only create session and execute on the PL/SQL package you created. They can login, they can lock/unlock/reset password, and that's it.

Hope that helps,

Subject: account unlock/password reset

I've co-authored a procedure that does and account unlock and password reset. It works great (if you're interested I'll post it, too).

Now I'd like to give this to level 2 support and have this taken out of the hands of the DBA's. We've got a few support users that are ready to use it, but I'm not thrilled with granting 'ALTER USER' to them.

Is there anyway around allowing users to unlock accounts and change password without granting 'ALTER USER'?

Thanks!

Jeremy
