GRANT ROLES

Synopsis

GRANT role [, ...]
TO ( user | USER user | ROLE role) [, ...]
[ GRANTED BY ( user | USER user | ROLE role | CURRENT_USER | CURRENT_ROLE ) ]
[ WITH ADMIN OPTION ]
[ IN catalog ]

Description

Grants the specified role(s) to the specified principal(s).

If the WITH ADMIN OPTION clause is specified, the role(s) are granted to the users with GRANT option.

For the GRANT statement for roles to succeed, the user executing it either should be the role admin or should possess the GRANT option for the given role.

The optional GRANTED BY clause causes the role(s) to be granted with the specified principal as a grantor. If the GRANTED BY clause is not specified, the roles are granted with the current user as a grantor.

The optional IN catalog clause grants the roles in a catalog as opposed to a system roles.

Examples

Grant role bar to user foo :

GRANT bar TO USER foo;

Grant roles bar and foo to user baz and role qux with admin option :

GRANT bar, foo TO USER baz, ROLE qux WITH ADMIN OPTION;

Limitations

Some connectors do not support role management. See connector documentation for more details.
