REVOKE role#
Synopsis#
REVOKE
[ ADMIN OPTION FOR ]
role_name [, ...]
FROM ( user | USER user | ROLE role) [, ...]
[ GRANTED BY ( user | USER user | ROLE role | CURRENT_USER | CURRENT_ROLE ) ]
[ IN catalog ]
Description#
Revokes the specified role(s) from the specified principal(s).
If the ADMIN OPTION FOR clause is specified, the GRANT permission is
revoked instead of the role.
For the REVOKE 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 revoked with
the specified principal as a revoker. If the GRANTED BY clause is not
specified, the roles are revoked by the current user as a revoker.
The optional IN catalog clause revokes the roles in a catalog as opposed
to a system roles.
Examples#
Revoke role bar from user foo
REVOKE bar FROM USER foo;
Revoke admin option for roles bar and foo from user baz and role qux
REVOKE ADMIN OPTION FOR bar, foo FROM USER baz, ROLE qux;
Limitations#
Some connectors do not support role management. See connector documentation for more details.
