To resolve the ORA-01031 error, follow these steps:
Determine the specific privileges needed for the operation you are attempting. This information can often be found in the Oracle documentation or by consulting with your database administrator.
Once you know the required privileges, you can grant them using the following SQL command:
GRANT [privilege] TO [username];
Replace [privilege] with the specific privilege needed, and [username] with the user's name.
Ensure that the user has the correct roles assigned. You can check the roles with:
SELECT * FROM dba_role_privs WHERE grantee = '[username]';
Adjust roles as necessary to include any missing privileges.
After making the necessary changes, attempt the operation again to verify that the issue is resolved.
