- I posted the following article yesterday asking about table references.

- Howdy,
-
- Yet some more questions from a rookie about putting together an application.
-
- I need to grant permissions on the objects that I have created for a specific
- application to some users. I know about the GRANT command but it's sorta
- cumbersome to have to GRANT permissions to each and every user that needs the
- application. Is there a way to have Oracle use Unix-style groups?
-
- Second question: is it really the case that I have to qualify each and every
- reference to an object in my application's forms and reports with the creator's
- (my) ID? If so, why didn't CASE*Generator do that for me? As such, I ended up
- writing a sed script to prepend my ID to each of my objects and manually
- wrapped each line of my .inp files at 80 columns. A real bother.
- ==
-
- I received 3 replies back. The conclusion is:
- o set the TABOWN option in CASE*Generator if I want to have the full
- reference in the generated forms, reports, et al or
- o use a public and/or private synonym for each user or
- o use V7's "role" feature
-
- V7's "role" feature sounds like what I really want. I.e., group-like
- control over access. Can someone who knows a bit more about V7's "roles"
- explain if it will allow you to control access to objects in a
- Unix-group-like manner?
