Need advice, Grant access to View or Table?

Hi,

I need to set-up an Oracle database for our in-house application development. My question is, should I:

1. Grant access directly to the base tables, or
2. Create views for the tables and grant access to views.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of the above set-up? Assuming the access, if given, will be for all the columns in the tables (no subsetting).

TIA,
