Re: Revoke system privilege from user

In order to "revoke" a privilege you have to "grant" it. All you did was grant the role "DBA" and the inherent privileges that role has. To accomplish what you want to do, create a new role with the privileges you want to grant and grant the role to the user or grant only the privileges you want to the user. ROR mª¿ªm

Hi, All,

    I have granted DBA role to an user. But I don't want him holding the "Drop Any Table" system privilege.

I did as follows:

1. Connect as sysdba.
2. revoke drop any table from ABC-user;

And I got the error:" ORA-01952: system privileges not granted to 'ABC-user'".

Could anyone help me out?

Thanks,

Chuan
