I have more user with few grant, i'd like to create for them a role with all necessary grant. I've the problem when i try to create a synonym ,to the role, for view of another user;

example:
** as user system

create role cia;
grant create session to cia;
create user cia1 identified by ****;
grant cia to cia1;

** as user fbi

create view v_fbi as select * from fbi.departement;

** as user system

create synonym cia.v_fbi for fbi.v_fbi;
but i have this error:

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01917: user or role '' does not exist

The question is can i create the synonym in the role ??

You using the wrong syntax for synonym. The purpose of a synonym is to not have to preface it with the schema name. You also have to grant select on the view to the role.

For example:
SQL> connect system
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> create user fbi identified by fbi;

User created.

SQL> grant connect,resource to fbi;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> create user cia1 identified by cia1;

User created.

SQL> grant connect to cia1;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> create role cia;

Role created.

SQL> connect fbi
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> create table department(test varchar(20));

Table created.

SQL> create view v_fbi as select * from department;

View created.

SQL> grant select on v_fbi to cia;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> connect system;
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> grant cia to cia1;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> connect cia1;
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> desc fbi.v_fbi;
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
TEST VARCHAR2(20)

SQL> desc v_fbi;
ERROR:
ORA-04043: object v_fbi does not exist

SQL> create synonym v_fbi for fbi.v_fbi;

Synonym created.

SQL> desc v_fbi
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
TEST VARCHAR2(20)
