Insufficient privilege

Question

We are using oracle 11g

I am replicating production db for dev environment.
I Have a user named CST2 and CST0 where CST0 contains all tables and view and public synonyms for the same. I have provided same set of privileges for CST2 in dev env as in production.

There is a view named Product(based on product_info and product_ainfo) in CST0 which can be accessed by CST2 in production(Did select). but doing the same in replicated dev env is giving the error insufficient privilege.

I checked following means from which the user can get privileges.

the roles assigned are same and privileges for that roles are also same.
usr_tab_privs are same
usr_sys_priv are same

I cant find out how the CST2 in prod is able to access view 'product' in CST0 as it got no privilege through roles or tab_privs.

Am I missing any other way by which CST2 in prod got privilege which I do grant in dev.?

An issue I found on a similar problem was that the ‘first’ grant on the object had to be done ‘with grant option’.

Eg for the issue above, this would therefore mean:

GRANT SELECT ON <underlying table owner>.<table_name> TO CST0 WITH GRANT OPTION;

Then running

GRANT SELECT ON <schema>.<view_name> TO CST0;

should work.

Note this this ‘foundation’ grant will need to be repeated for each of the underlying table owner>. which forms part of the view definition.
