Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain No user, not even SYS, can grant on another user's objects. You have two options 1. Login as the owner of the object on which grants are to be provided and provide the grants 2. Create a grants package[which can give grants on specified objects] in the owner's schema, grant execute on that package to SYS or whichever DBA account you use and then use the package from SYS or the DBA account. The package runs in Owner's Rights !
