ora object grant

Overview

This type allows you to grant users rights to specified database objects.

To grant user SCOTT execute and debug rights on on the sys.dbms_aqin packgage, you can use:

ora_object_grant{'SCOTT->sys.dbms_aqin@SID':
  permissions => ['execute', 'debug'],
}

If you want to make sure the user only has execute rights, use:

ora_object_grant{'OTHER_USER->sys.dbms_aqin@SID':
   permissions => ['execute'],
}

If you want to make sure no permissions are granted, you can use an empty array like this:

ora_object_grant{'OTHER_USER->sys.dbms_aqin':
   permissions => [],
}

Attributes

container

Allows you to specify the scope of the object.

This property is only supported on version 12 and higher. It allows you to specify if the user will be seen through all portable containers (e.g. global) of just in the current pluggable database.

You can use container on:

• ora_user
• ora_profile
• ora_object_grant

Here is an example on how to use this:

ora_... { '...@sid':
  ...
  container       => 'current',
  ...
}

Valid values are current, all. Back to overview of ora_object_grant

grantee

The Oracle username that is granted (or revoked) the permission.

This parameter is extracted from the title of the type. It is separated by the object by a /.

ora_object_grant { 'SCOTT->sys.dbms_aqin@SID':
  ...
}

In this example SCOTT is the grantee. Grantee names will always be uppercased by Puppet. This means in Puppet you can use either lower, upper or mixed case. In Oracle, it will be always be an upper case string.

name

The object and name combination you want to manage. Including an appended SID.

ora_object_grant { 'SCOTT->sys.dbms_aqin@SID':
  ...
}

The SID is optional. When you don’t specify an SID, Puppet will take the first ASM instance from the /etc/oratab file and use that as the SID. We recoomend you always use a full qualified name (e.g. a name including the SID).

object_name

The object name.

This parameter is extracted from the title of the type. It is the first part of the name.

ora_object_grant { 'SCOTT->sys.dbms_aqin@SID':
  ...
}

In this example sys.dbms_aqin is the object name. The object names will always be uppercased by Puppet. This means in Puppet you can use either lower, upper or mixed case. In Oracle, it will be always be an upper case string.

You must specify full qualified object names. This means owner.object.

permissions

The permissions on the specified object, granted to the specified user.

This is a required array of rights to grant on the user object combination

ora_object_grant{ ...:
  permissions => ['execute', 'select'],
}

When this list contains less rights then currently granted, the the extra rights will be revoked from the user. If the permissions list contains more rights then currently granted in the database, the extra rights will be granted to the user.

If you want to make sure no rights are granted, you must use an empty array.

ora_object_grant{ ...:
  permissions => ['execute', 'select'],
}

provider

The specific backend to use for this ora_object_grant resource. You will seldom need to specify this — Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform.Available providers are:

sid

SID to connect to.

All types have a name like resource@sid. The sid is optional. If you don’t specify the sid, the type will use the database from the /etc/ora_setting.yaml with the property default set to true. We advise you to either use @sid in all your manifests or leave it empty everywhere.

with_grant_permissions

The permissions on the specified object, granted to the specified user with the option to regrant to an other user.

This is a required array of rights to grant on the user object combination

ora_object_grant{ ...:
  with_grant_permissions => ['execute', 'select'],
}

When this list contains less rights then currently granted, the the extra rights will be revoked from the user. If the permissions list contains more rights then currently granted in the database, the extra rights will be granted to the user.

If you want to make sure no rights are granted, you must use an empty array.

ora_object_grant{ ...:
  with_grant_permissions => ['execute', 'select'],
}
