How the Oracle Multitenant Option Affects Privileges

A common user connected to the root can see metadata pertaining to PDBs by way of the container data objects (for example, multitenant container database (CDB) views and V$ views) in the root, provided that the common user has been granted privileges required to access these views and his CONTAINER_DATA attribute has been set to allow seeing data about various PDBs.

SQL> create user C##ADMIN identified by adminpass container=all ;

User created.

SQL> GRANT CREATE SESSION, SYSOPER,PDB_DBA,DBA, CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE TO c##admin CONTAINER=ALL ;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> conn C##ADMIN/adminpass
Connected.
SQL> select PDB_NAME from cdb_pdbs;

no rows selected

Granting the required privilege:

SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> alter user c##admin set container_data=all for cdb_pdbs container=current;

User altered.

SQL> conn C##ADMIN/adminpass
Connected.
SQL> select PDB_NAME from cdb_pdbs;
