are the ALL_* views usually viewable by all users?

I'm currently querying the USER_* views to do introspection on a user's schema. But, in order to handle aliases, I need to use DBMS_UTILITY.NAME_RESOLVE and the ALL_* views.

Will I enounter any unexpected issues where a random user won't be able to execute DBMS_UTILITY.NAME_RESOLVE or access the ALL_* views?

If so, what's the role they should have to access these? Will that be a common case?

Many TIA,
Mark
