Can I grant privileges to a role without specifying an object? I am trying to create a role to simplify granting a set of privileges that I often give to users. I am wondering if there is any way to grant these privileges on only the objects owned by their schema without knowing what the schema name will be ahead of time?

For instance, I want to assign the role student_access to the users JOE and MARY without having to specify what tables or procedures they have these privileges on. They should have all privileges that the role grants on all objects owned by their schema.

Thanks.
The system privileges that relate to the object types (CREATE TABLE, VIEW, ...) can be divided in two groups:


Those that lack the keyword ANY are only effective on the user's own schema.
Those with the keyword ANY (DROP ANY TABLE, EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE, ...) are effective on all schemas. Consequently, you should restrict the ANY privileges to administrative users.


If you grant an object type privilege (without ANY) such as CREATE TABLE to a role, all users of this role will be able to assert this privilege on their own schema. Consequently you can grant these privileges to a role and the users will inherit such rights (on their own schema) when they are granted the role.
