PRIVILEGIOS WITH ADMIN OPTION - WITH GRANT OPTION

Privileges that are granted WITH ADMIN OPTION can be passed to other users. Hence, many companies prohibit this option, and others check to ensure that all user ID's are proper.  Here is an example of the usage of the with admin option keyword.

GRANT
   CREATE INDEX
TO
   Robert
WITH ADMIN OPTION;

 

The metadata security audit information for users having the WITH ADMIN OPTION is located in the DBA_SYS_PRIVS view. Read more here.

 

The "with grant" privilege
 

The WITH GRANT option allows you to give the user you are assigning the privilege to grant this privilege to other users.  Only the schema that owns the object can grant privileges to that object unless the WITH GRANT option is included in the command.  Here is an example of the use of the with grant option:

GRANT SELECT ON
   emp
TO
   scott
WITH GRANT OPTION;
