GRANT

Synopsis

GRANT ( privilege [, ...] | ( ALL PRIVILEGES ) )
ON ( table_name | TABLE table_name | SCHEMA schema_name)
TO ( user | USER user | ROLE role )
[ WITH GRANT OPTION ]

Description

Grants the specified privileges to the specified grantee.

Specifying ALL PRIVILEGES grants DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE and SELECT privileges.

Specifying ROLE PUBLIC grants privileges to the PUBLIC role and hence to all users.

The optional WITH GRANT OPTION clause allows the grantee to grant these same privileges to others.

For GRANT statement to succeed, the user executing it should possess the specified privileges as well as the GRANT OPTION for those privileges.

Grant on a table grants the specified privilege on all current and future columns of the table.

Grant on a schema grants the specified privilege on all current and future columns of all current and future tables of the schema.

Examples

Grant INSERT and SELECT privileges on the table orders to user alice:

GRANT INSERT, SELECT ON orders TO alice;

Grant DELETE privilege on the schema finance to user bob:

GRANT DELETE ON SCHEMA finance TO bob;

Grant SELECT privilege on the table nation to user alice, additionally allowing alice to grant SELECT privilege to others:

GRANT SELECT ON nation TO alice WITH GRANT OPTION;

Grant SELECT privilege on the table orders to everyone:

GRANT SELECT ON orders TO ROLE PUBLIC;
