Your problem may not go away even when synonyms created. Received following, with regard to views derived from tables owned by multiple users, from a colleague some time back. Hope it helps.

T1 is a table owned by A with SELECT granted to PUBLIC

T2 is a table owned by B

B creates a the view, V1, based on tables T1 and T2

B grants SELECT on V1 to C

C CANNOT use the view

This is because B does not own T1 - even though T1 has SELECT granted to PUBLIC. The problem can only be overcome by A granting select on T1 to B WITH GRANT OPTION. Daft but true!
