I could be missing something here. If you set the profile option
"Utilities:Diagnostics" to "YES" users are allowed to enable trace on a
session without having to provied the APPS password.

April,
We lost this battle with our developers - they have the password, along
with strict instructions to "behave."
Nobody else should have the password to any of the schemas (APPS, GL, INV,
etc.). We create logins for users that need them and grant the necessary
rights to objects. As you know, APPS can do just about anything in the
database, so you're asking for trouble if you let the whole company in
there. Chances are you already have some objects in that schema like
MICROSOFTDTPROPERTIES.

Okay, anyone using Financials... E-Business suite... Oracle 11i... whatever
you want to call it...
I am trying to apply SOME kind of security to my databases. It appears that
it is critical for everyone to be able to access production using the APPS
id.... Finance and accounting people, developers, everyone. What does
everyone else do in their setups? The newest reason is the need to run the
new Mass Additions Trace which apparently requires that you use the apps id.
We have found a way to set up any user with a read only version of what APPS
has (since they have to be able to compile reports in production and access
production data live rather than a month old clone), but Oracle says that
you need to run Mass Additions Trace as apps.
Does anyone let the entire company have the production apps user's password?
