Checking System Privileges Granted to a User

You can check which system privileges a user has by querying user_sys_privs.

Some Columns in user_sys_privs:

Column	Type	Description
username	VARCHAR2(30)	Name of the current user
privilege	VARCHAR2(40)	The system privilege the user has
admin_option	VARCHAR2(3)	Whether the user is able to grant the privilege to another user

user_sys_privs is part of the Oracle database's data dictionary. The data dictionary stores information about the database itself.
