You need a DDL trigger, not a table trigger. Consult CREATE TRIGGER in the SQL manual and search for "ddl_event".

I found the procedure which takes care of the email. Next I created a trigger on Insert into the Dba Role Privs view and received the error that this can not be performed on a view. Does anyone know the underlying Sys table(s) to use, or a better way of checking this?
