How to query the permissions on an Oracle directory?

Question

I have a directory in all_directories, but I need to find out what permissions are associated with it, i.e. what has been granted on it?

Answer 1

This should give you the roles, users and permissions granted on a directory:

SELECT * 
  FROM all_tab_privs 
 WHERE table_name = 'your_directory';  --> needs to be upper case

And yes, it IS in the all_TAB_privs view ;-) A better name for that view would be something like "ALL_OBJECT_PRIVS", since it also includes PL/SQL objects and their execute permissions as well.
