Symptoms

ERROR:
ORA-39181 :only partial table data may be exported due to fine grain access control

This error appears trying to datapump export a table with FGAC policy enabled against it.

When Expdp runs as the schema owner, if fine grained policies are discovered on tables and if the exporting  user has unrestricted access, then the entire table data is exported.
