Hi Experts,

I am using Oracle 10g and I presently have this kind of setup for my new project.
grant WINA$USER to WINA$USRADM with admin option;   (where both WINA$USER and WINA$USRADM are roles)
 
SQL> select * from dba_role_privs where admin_option ='YES' and grantee like 'WINA$%' order by grantee;
 
GRANTEE                        GRANTED_ROLE                   ADM DEF
------------------------------ ------------------------------ --- ---
WINA$USRADM                    WINA$USER                      YES YES

In my vb code I use the follwing code to create and grant role for the new users:
create user C$SETUP identified by password
grant WINA$USER to C$SETUP

In order for User A (who is assigned WINA$USRADM role) to be able to "grant WINA$USER" to other users, I have given "grant WINA$USER to WINA$USRADM with admin option" in order for the VB code to work.

But my dba says that, this kind of option will raise an audit issue and not to grant an admin option. Can someone please advise me for a work around.

Appreciate your kind help on this matter urgently. Thank you.

No, this is the correct to do it and your DBA is wrong.

I believe the issue is when WINA$USRADM is droped someday.In that case,all users assigned WINA$USER from WINA$USRADM schema will have the grants revoked.

This is wrong.
Only object privileges are tracked not system privileges or roles.
