ACL Binding

In the database, a privilege may be bound to a resource in the following manner:

• It can be explicitly bound as part of a privilege grant. For example, database object privileges are bound to a resource as part of a privilege grant, such as GRANT user_N update ON table_M.

• It may also be globally bound as part of the privilege definition, such as a system privileges ALTER SYSTEM or CREATE ANY TABLE, which do not require the resource name as part of their grant statement.

Similarly, a Real Application Security application privilege can be one of these types:

• Explicitly bound through an ACL and data realms as part of Data Security policies; see Configuring Data Security

• Globally bound to a resource as part of its definition
