Default role all

Hello,

Env: 8.1.6 on Solaris 2.7

Does anyone know which data dictionary table stores the setting when you issue an "ALTER USER user_name DEFAULT ROLE ALL" COMMAND?

I know that dba_role_privs has a default_role (YES/NO) field, but that is specific to each role. Is there another table that stores a system-wide default role setting per user?

The reason I ask, without getting too complicated, is that we used to assign new roles to users without specifying anything to do with default roles, and the newly-assigned role automatically became a default role. Recently, this has changed due to using both toad and sqlplus to administer roles, and I am wondering if there is another table where the system-wide default setting for roles is stored. If not, is there any way to assign new roles as default roles without having to specify "alter user user_name default role all" every time a new role is granted
(or worse, an explicit list of roles)?

Thanks to any responders.
