Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Our schemaowner need to know what oracle version it is running under.
As a user with elevated (system) privileges I can do successfully a

select VERSION from V$INSTANCE;

but I can not as a mundane user/schemaowner.

So what is a minimum requirement to obtain that information? Other means to obtaining the Oracle version are also welcome.
