Privileges are rights that are assigned to individual users or roles. There are two basic types of privileges:
Give the user or role the ability to perform certain system operations
Give the user or role access privileges on individual schema objects
System privileges relate to the Oracle instance as a whole—for example, a privilege on all of a type of object (such as all tables), while schema privileges relate to a specific schema object within an Oracle database (for example, a particular accounting table).
