REVOKE

Function

REVOKE revokes permissions from one or more roles.

Precautions

If a non-owner user of an object attempts to REVOKE permission on the object, the statement is executed based on the following rules:

  • If the user has no permissions whatsoever on the object, the statement will fail outright.
  • If an authorized user has some permissions, only the permissions with authorization options are revoked.
  • If the authorized user does not have the authorization option, the REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES form will issue an error message. For other forms of statements, if the permission specified in the statement does not have the corresponding authorization option, the statement will issue a warning.
  • Do not perform REVOKE to a table partition. Otherwise, an alarm will be generated.

Parameter Description

The keyword PUBLIC indicates an implicitly defined group that has all roles.

For details about the permission types and parameters, see Parameter Description in GRANT.

Permissions of a role include the permissions directly granted to the role, permissions inherited from the parent role, and permissions granted to PUBLIC. Therefore, revoking the SELECT permission for an object from PUBLIC does not necessarily mean that the SELECT permission for the object has been revoked from all roles, because the SELECT permission directly granted to roles and inherited from parent roles remains. Similarly, if the SELECT permission is revoked from a user but is not revoked from PUBLIC, the user can still run the SELECT statement.

If GRANT OPTION FOR is specified, the permission cannot be granted to others, but permission itself is not revoked.

If user A holds the UPDATE permissions on a table and the WITH GRANT OPTION and has granted them to user B, the permissions that user B holds are called dependent permissions. When user A's permission or grant option is revoked, CASCADE must be specified to revoke all dependent permissions.

A user can only revoke permissions that were granted directly by that user. For example, if user A has granted permission with grant option (WITH ADMIN OPTION) to user B, and user B has in turn granted it to user C, then user A cannot revoke the permission directly from C. However, user A can revoke the grant option held by user B and use CASCADE. In this way, the permission of user C is automatically revoked. For another example, if both user A and user B have granted the same permission to C, A can revoke his own grant but not B's grant, so C will still effectively have the permission.

If the role executing REVOKE holds permissions indirectly via more than one role membership path, it is unspecified which containing role will be used to execute the statement. In such cases, it is best practice to use SET ROLE to become the specific role you want to do the REVOKE as, and then execute REVOKE. Failure to do so may lead to deleting permissions not intended to delete, or not deleting any permissions at all.
