142.2 DBMS_OBSERVABILITY Security Model

The DBMS_OBSERVABILITY package consists of a number of observability related subprograms.

Oracle Database installs this package in the SYS schema. The EXECUTE privilege is granted to users with the DBA role and should not be extended to general users. The DBMS_OBSERVABILITY package runs with the invoker's permissions. This package invokes DBMS_CREDENTIAL internally. Relevant security and privilege requirements also apply.
