Does a Oracle procedure inherit the privileges of its creator?

Question

I have 3 Oracle users A, B, C and want to use B (as intermediate) to import a table from C to A. When connected to B, I can run "create table A.T1 as select * from T1@C". But when I put the sql statement into a procedure that B creates/owns, I keep getting "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges". As sysdba, I have granted all rights (dba) to B. So what am I missing here? Thank you.

Answer 1

Have you granted the following to user B?

sql> grant create any table to b;

Answer 2

In an definer's rights stored procedure (the default), the only privileges that are available are those that are granted directly to the user, not those that have been granted through a role (like DBA). So Pablo is correct that B would need to have the CREATE ANY TABLE privilege as a direct grant.
