The Group Authorization tool helps DBAs manage access to database objects, simplifies the authorization process, and shortens the time needed to grant or revoke privileges. It lets DBAs issue authorizations to groups of users on groups of objects rather than one by one. You can associate individual users with defined User Groups, and you can associate database objects (such as tables, views, and packages) with defined Application Groups. Then you can use the Group Authorization menus to issue GRANTs and REVOKEs specifying a User Group (grantee) and an Application Group (on objects).
