can you be please more specific in how to make that for example if i want the user to access only trace directory and this is the directory permission, obviously anyone can read it, but i would like to make a user who can only read it and nothing else, is there a way?
drwxrwxrwx 3 ora10g dba 126464 Jun 10 13:04 trace
