In Oracle, user privileges control the actions that a user can perform on database objects. Checking user privileges is important for ensuring that users have the appropriate level of access to perform their job functions, while also maintaining data security.
There are a few different ways to check user privileges in Oracle. One way is to use the `USER_PRIVS` data dictionary view. This view contains information about all of the privileges that have been granted to users in the database. Another way to check user privileges is to use the `DBA_SYS_PRIVS` data dictionary view. This view contains information about all of the system privileges that have been granted to users in the database.
