Fix Recommendation

Create roles for administrative function assignments. Assign the necessary privileges for the administrative functions to a role. Do not assign administrative privileges directly to users, except for those that Oracle does not permit to be assigned via roles.

Check Contents

Review accounts for direct assignment of administrative privileges. Connected as SYSDBA, run the query:

SELECT grantee, privilege
FROM dba_sys_privs
WHERE grantee IN
(
SELECT username
FROM dba_users
WHERE username NOT IN
(
'XDB', 'SYSTEM', 'SYS', 'LBACSYS',
'DVSYS', 'DVF', 'SYSMAN_RO',
'SYSMAN_BIPLATFORM', 'SYSMAN_MDS',
'SYSMAN_OPSS', 'SYSMAN_STB', 'DBSNMP',
'SYSMAN', 'APEX_040200', 'WMSYS',
'SYSDG', 'SYSBACKUP', 'SPATIAL_WFS_ADMIN_USR',
'SPATIAL_CSW_ADMIN_US', 'GSMCATUSER',
'OLAPSYS', 'SI_INFORMTN_SCHEMA',
'OUTLN', 'ORDSYS', 'ORDDATA', 'OJVMSYS',
'ORACLE_OCM', 'MDSYS', 'ORDPLUGINS',
'GSMADMIN_INTERNAL', 'MDDATA', 'FLOWS_FILES',
'DIP', 'CTXSYS', 'AUDSYS',
'APPQOSSYS', 'APEX_PUBLIC_USER', 'ANONYMOUS',
'SPATIAL_CSW_ADMIN_USR', 'SYSKM',
'SYSMAN_TYPES', 'MGMT_VIEW',
'EUS_ENGINE_USER', 'EXFSYS', 'SYSMAN_APM'
)
)
AND privilege NOT IN ('UNLIMITED TABLESPACE'
, 'REFERENCES', 'INDEX', 'SYSDBA', 'SYSOPER', 'CREATE SESSION'
)
ORDER BY 1, 2;

If any administrative privileges have been assigned directly to a database account, this is a finding.

The list of special accounts that are excluded from this requirement may not be complete. It is expected that the database administrator (DBA) will edit the list to suit local circumstances, adding other special accounts as necessary, and removing any that are not supposed to be in use in the Oracle deployment that is under review.
