Data Authorization Views

These views help you validate data role definitions, data grant assignments, and the resulting row-level and column-level authorization rules. They also indicate whether a data grant was created with FILTER or associated with a tag.

Summary of views

View or Object Name	Description
`DBA_DATA_ROLES`	Displays all data roles defined in the database.
`DBA_DATA_ROLE_GRANTS`	Displays all data role grants and database role grants to data roles.
`DBA_DATA_GRANTS`	Displays all fine-grained data grants in the database.
`ALL_DATA_GRANTS`	Displays all fine-grained data grants accessible to the current user.
`USER_DATA_GRANTS`	Displays all fine-grained data grants owned by the current user.
`DBA_REQUIRED_PARENT_DATA_PRIVILEGES`	Displays the required parent data privileges of all cross-table data grants in the database.
`ALL_REQUIRED_PARENT_DATA_PRIVILEGES`	Displays the required parent data privileges of cross-table data grants accessible to the current user.
`USER_REQUIRED_PARENT_DATA_PRIVILEGES`	Displays the required parent data privileges of cross-table data grants owned by the current user.

DBA_DATA_ROLES

Displays all data roles defined in the database. Data roles can be locally defined or externally mapped to IAM attributes (for example, Entra ID roles). Data roles that are externally mapped activate automatically when the corresponding claim is present in the end-user token, or in the database-access token in a single-token flow.

Column	Datatype	Description
`DATA_ROLE`	`VARCHAR2(128)`	Name of the data role
`MAPPED_TO`	`VARCHAR2(4000)`	External name (from IAM) that a data role maps to.
`ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT`	`BOOLEAN`	Indicates whether the data role is enabled by default (`TRUE`) or not (`FALSE`)

DBA_DATA_ROLE_GRANTS

Displays data role grants to data roles, end users, or application identities, and database role grants to data roles. Each row represents a single grant with optional temporal validity constraints.

Column	Datatype	Description
`DATA_ROLE`	`VARCHAR2(128)`	Name of the granted role
`ROLE_TYPE`	`VARCHAR2(13)`	Type of granted role: `DATA` `ROLE` `DATABASE` `ROLE`
`GRANTEE`	`VARCHAR2(128)`	Name of the grantee
`GRANTEE_TYPE`	`VARCHAR2(20)`	Type of grantee: `APPLICATION` `IDENTITY` `DATA` `ROLE` `END` `USER`
`START_TIME`	`VARCHAR2(28)`	Start time from which the grant is valid
`END_TIME`	`VARCHAR2(28)`	End time until which the grant is valid

DBA_DATA_GRANTS

Displays all Oracle Deep Data Security (Deep Sec) data grants in the database, created using the CREATE DATA GRANT statement. Use GRANT_TYPE to distinguish data grants from data grant filters. Use TAG_NAME to identify the tag specified using the WITH TAG clause.

Because predicated grants contain unique attributes, such as grant names and active time windows (start or end times), they are not recorded in the standard DBA_TAB_PRIVS view. Instead, Deep Sec data grants appear exclusively in this dedicated dictionary view.

Note the distinction between the two ownership columns: OBJECT_OWNER identifies the schema of the target object being protected, whereas OWNER identifies the schema that owns the data grant itself.

The current user has the ADMINISTER ANY DATA GRANT system privilege, which results in all cross-table data grants being displayed.
The current user has the ADMINISTER ANY DATA GRANT privilege at the schema level on the schema of the object on which the data grant is created, which results in the cross-table data grants in that schema being displayed.
