Grants privilege to an existing user or role on the whole cluster or on a specific object, or grant one or more roles to a user or role.

Synopsis

[ON {SCHEMA | TABLE | VIEW} identifier [, ...]]
TO name [, ...]

GRANT role_name_to_grant [, ...] TO name [, ...]

Description

GRANT is a management statement which comes in two flavours.

The first one is used to grant one or many privileges on the whole cluster or on a specific object to one or many existing users or roles. ON {SCHEMA | TABLE | VIEW} is optional, if not specified the privilege will be granted on the CLUSTER level.

With the second one, GRANT can be used to grant one or more roles to one or many others or roles. Thus, the users (or roles) inherit the privileges of the roles which they are granted.

For usages of the GRANT statement see Privileges.

Parameters

identifier:

The identifier of the corresponding object.

If TABLE or VIEW is specified the identifier should include the object’s full qualified name. Otherwise it will be looked up in the current schema.

role_name_to_grant:

The name of the role to grant to another user or role.

name:

The name of an existing user or role.
