how lock expired user using procedure in aws oracle rds

Question

Hello,

Attempting to lock expired users in AWS Oracle RDS using a created procedure faces an "insufficient privileges" error. The procedure, designed to execute ALTER USER commands, encounters privilege issues despite being created by a master user. The code provided showcases the procedure encountering the error, along with the error details

SHARING PROCEDURE AS BELWO :
  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE lock_expired_users AS
BEGIN
  FOR user_rec IN (SELECT username FROM dba_users WHERE expiry_date < SYSDATE AND PROFILE='USER_ACCT') LOOP
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER USER ' || user_rec.username || ' account lock password expire';
	DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('ALTER USER ' || user_rec.username || ' account lock password expire');
  END LOOP;
END;
/

ERROR :
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at "ECDBINSTALL.LOCK_EXPIRED_USERS", line 5
ORA-06512: at "ECDBINSTALL.LOCK_EXPIRED_USERS", line 5
ORA-06512: at line 1

Answer

Hello Rajdeep,  
Logged in as ADMIN, I am able to create this procedure in my RDS instance. See below:

SQL> 	l

1  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE lock_expired_users AS  
2  BEGIN  
3     FOR user_rec IN (SELECT username FROM dba_users WHERE expiry_date < SYSDATE AND PROFILE='USER_ACCT')  
4     LOOP  
5          EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER USER ' || user_rec.username || ' account lock password expire';  
6          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('ALTER USER ' || user_rec.username || ' account lock password expire');  
7     END LOOP;  
8* END;  
SQL> /

Procedure created.

You may want to check your session privileges (by running select * from session_privs) and see what privilege is lacking. Maybe if it is not immediately clear, you could run the same sql (select * from session_privs) from an ADMIN user and compare the output with that from your other user that is trying to create this procedure.

Hope this helps.
