Hello, I am facing a problem and it goes like this:
I have a schema named CML that we want to put common objects (Tables, View, Procedures, Packages, etc) used by the team.

I would like to know what grants I should give to my user (eliasr) to create tables, views, procedures, packages in the schema CML. I want to also change existing packages and procedures.

and Connor said...

You have three options here.

1) Give 'eliasr' very broad grants. The privilege level here is "you" or "everyone", so to create an object in another schema you need the "any" privilege level, eg CREATE ANY TABLE. But this means you can create objects in EVERY schema. Not recommended except for DBAs and even then, its risky due to human error

2) Allow CML to connect and you get given the CML password. You temporarily connect as CML to create your objects etc. I don't recommend this because anything that owns objects is ideally not able to connect to the database. Helps with security

3) Give 'eliasr' proxy rights. This lets you authenticate as yourself but "connect" as if you were CML

See her for example https://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/asktom.search?tag=proxy-users

Thank you Connor for your inputs, I didn't know about proxy users.

I just tried and when using my user: eliasr[ODS_MDM] and my password, I get this error:
Client not found in Kerberos database

I am using AD authentication.
Is there a way around for this error?
