ora_role

Overview

This type allows you to create or delete a role inside an Oracle Database.

It recognises a limit part of the options that CREATE ROLE supports.

ora_role {'just_a_role@sid':
  ensure    => present,
}

You can also add grants to a role:

ora_role {'just_a_role@sid':
  ensure    => present,
  grants    => ['create session','create table'],
}

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_role

ensure

The basic property that the resource should be in.

Valid values are present, absent. Back to overview of ora_role

granted

The grants you want to make sure are granted to the ora_user or ora_role. It is different from the grants property in the sense that this is not a full list of the rights, but just the rights that are granted to the user

Here is an example with an ora_user:

ora_user {'scott':
  ...
  granted => ['GRANT ANY ROLE'],
  ...
}

Here is an example with an ora_role:

ora_role {'app_dba_role':
  ...
  granted => ['GRANT ANY ROLE'],
  ...
}

This property is mutual exclusive with the grants property.

granted_with_admin

The grants with admin you want to make sure are granted to the ora_user or ora_role. It is different from the grants_with_admin property in the sense that this is not a full list of the rights, but just the rights that are granted to the user

Here is an example with an ora_user:

ora_user {'scott':
  ...
  granted_with_admin => ['GRANT ANY ROLE'],
  ...
}

Here is an example with an ora_role:

ora_role {'app_dba_role':
  ...
  granted_with_admin => ['GRANT ANY ROLE'],
  ...
}

This property is mutual exclusive with the grants property.

revoked

The grants you want to make sure are revoked from the ora_user or ora_role. It is different from the grants property in the sense that this is not a full list of the rights, but just the rights that are NOT granted to the user

ora_user {'scott':
  ...
  revoked => ['GRANT ANY ROLE'],
}

Here is an example when using ora_role:

ora_role {'scott':

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.
