I have a user that only read from a database

I am trying to prevent a certain user from being able to make any changes to a table. I have removed all but the connect role, and all but the "Select Any Table" privlege, but logging in as the user I can still commit deletes. What am I missing? Should I focus on the tablespace or the schema?

Thanks

Role does affect privileges but you probably granted priviliges to this user explicitly. I would try "revoke update,delete,insert from your_user on your_table" .

When I try the following:
revoke update on schema.table from user;

I get the error message: ORA-01927: Cannot REVOKE privleges you did not grant

Which is expected as I didn't explicitly grant and object permissions. Can you think of anything else?

Thanks

Can you check privileges on particular table in Enterprise Manager?
There is also possibility that you or somebody else granted update or insert to public.
That's the only thing I can imagine. I am not an Oracle Certified Expert.
Hope this helps,

Run this to find out what the user has:

set echo off
set verify off
set pages 200
col granted_role form a20
col owner form a12
col table_name form a27
col privilege form a27

ACCEPT username prompt 'Enter Username : '

spool privs_&username..lst

PROMPT Roles granted to user

SELECT granted_role,admin_option,default_role
FROM dba_role_privs
WHERE grantee=UPPER('&username');

PROMPT Table Privileges granted to a user through roles

SELECT granted_role, owner, table_name, privilege
FROM ( SELECT granted_role
FROM dba_role_privs WHERE grantee=UPPER('&username')
UNION
SELECT granted_role
FROM role_role_privs
WHERE role in (SELECT granted_role
FROM dba_role_privs WHERE grantee=UPPER('&username')
)
) roles, dba_tab_privs
WHERE granted_role=grantee;

PROMPT System Privileges assigned to a user through roles

SELECT granted_role, privilege
FROM ( SELECT granted_role
FROM dba_role_privs WHERE grantee=UPPER('&username')
UNION
SELECT granted_role
FROM role_role_privs
WHERE role in (SELECT granted_role
FROM dba_role_privs WHERE grantee=UPPER('&username')
)
) roles, dba_sys_privs
WHERE granted_role=grantee;

PROMPT Table privileges assigned directly to a user

SELECT owner, table_name, privilege

WHERE grantee=UPPER('&username');

PROMPT System privileges assigned directly to a user

SELECT privilege, admin_option
FROM dba_sys_privs
WHERE grantee=UPPER('&username');

spool off

I get the following in response to your recommended script:

PRIVILEGE ADM
--------------------------- ---
SELECT ANY TABLE NO

SQL> @C:user_perm.sql
Enter Username : user
Roles granted to user

GRANTED_ROLE ADM DEF
-------------------- --- ---
CONNECT YES YES

Table Privileges granted to a user through roles

no rows selected

System Privileges assigned to a user through roles

GRANTED_ROLE PRIVILEGE
-------------------- ---------------------------
CONNECT ALTER SESSION
CONNECT CREATE CLUSTER
CONNECT CREATE DATABASE LINK
CONNECT CREATE SEQUENCE
CONNECT CREATE SESSION
CONNECT CREATE SYNONYM
CONNECT CREATE TABLE
CONNECT CREATE VIEW

8 rows selected.

Table privileges assigned directly to a user

no rows selected

System privileges assigned directly to a user

PRIVILEGE ADM
--------------------------- ---
SELECT ANY TABLE NO

I have removed everything from CONNECT except ALTER SESSION and CREATER SESSION. Still I can delete.

I haven't explicitly granted object permissions on the tables either. Am I back to just write locking the tablespace? Is the schema owner just implicitly allowed to have their way with the table?

The owner of the schema has all rights to objects it has created. If you do not want a user to have this kind of access you need to create another schema and you keep the password. Grant select on the table(s) that should be read only. For example say you have projectx. Create the schema projectx. Create all your tables and objects and load your data. Then grant access to the data.

SQL> grant select on projectx.tabe1 to scott; -- read only
SQL> grant update,delete,insert,select on projectx.tabe1 to adm; -- full access
