V-15629 DG0121-ORACLE11 SV-24755r1_rule ECLP-1 Medium
Description
Granting permissions to accounts is error prone and repetitive. Using roles allows for group management of privileges assigned by function and reduces the likelihood of wrongfully assigned privileges. Assign permissions to roles and then grant the roles to accounts.

Revoke privileges assigned directly to database accounts and assign them to roles based on job functions.

Assign users who are assigned responsibility for the job function to the defined role.

From SQL*Plus:
revoke [privilege] on [object name] from [user name];
grant [privilege] on [object name] to [role name];
