Access Privilege Inquiry Function

The DDL permissions, including ALTER, DROP, COMMENT, INDEX and VACUUM, are inherent permissions implicitly owned by the owner.

has_any_column_privilege(user, table, privilege)

Description: Queries whether a specified user has permission for any column of table.

Table 1 Parameter type description

Parameter Valid Input Parameter Type

user name, oid

table text, oid

privilege text

Return type: Boolean
has_any_column_privilege(table, privilege)

Description: Queries whether the current user has permission to access any column of table. For details about the valid parameter types, see Table 1.

Return type: Boolean

has_any_column_privilege checks whether a user can access any column of a table in a particular way. Its parameter possibilities are analogous to has_table_privilege, except that the desired access permission type must be some combination of SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, COMMENT or REFERENCES.

NOTE: Note that having any of these permissions at the table level implicitly grants it for each column of the table, so has_any_column_privilege will always return true if has_table_privilege does for the same parameters. But has_any_column_privilege also succeeds if there is a column-level grant of the permission for at least one column.
has_column_privilege(user, table, column, privilege)

Description: Specifies whether a specified user has permission for columns.

Table 2 Parameter type description

Parameter Valid Input Parameter Type

user name, oid

table text, oid

column text, smallint

privilege text

Return type: Boolean
has_column_privilege(table, column, privilege)

Description: Specifies whether the current user has permission to access columns. For details about the valid parameter types, see Table 2.

Return type: Boolean

has_column_privilege checks whether a user can access a column in a particular way. Its argument possibilities are analogous to has_table_privilege, with the addition that the column can be specified either by name or attribute number. The desired access permission type must evaluate to some combination of SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, COMMENT or REFERENCES.

NOTE: Note that having any of these permissions at the table level implicitly grants it for each column of the table.

Return type: Boolean

Note: has_function_privilege checks whether a user can access a function in a particular way. Its argument possibilities are analogous to has_table_privilege. When a function is specified by a text string rather than by OID, the allowed input is the same as that for the regprocedure data type (see OID Types). The access permission type must be EXECUTE, ALTER, DROP, or COMMENT.

has_table_privilege(user, table, privilege)

Description: Specifies whether a specified user has permission for tables.

Return type: Boolean
has_table_privilege(table, privilege)

Description: Specifies whether the current user has permission for tables.

Return type: Boolean

has_table_privilege checks whether a user can access a table in a particular way. The user can be specified by name, by OID (pg_authid.oid), public to indicate the PUBLIC pseudo-role, or if the argument is omitted current_user is assumed. The table can be specified by name or by OID. When it is specified by name, the name can be schema-qualified if necessary. The desired access permission type is specified by a text string, which must be one of the values SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, TRUNCATE, REFERENCES, TRIGGER, ALTER, DROP, COMMENT, INDEX or VACUUM. Optionally, WITH GRANT OPTION can be added to a permission type to test whether the permission is held with grant option. Also, multiple permission types can be listed separated by commas, in which case the result will be true if any of the listed permissions is held.

Example:
```
MogDB=# SELECT has_table_privilege('tpcds.web_site', 'select');
 has_table_privilege
---------------------
 t
(1 row)

MogDB=# SELECT has_table_privilege('omm', 'tpcds.web_site', 'select,INSERT WITH GRANT OPTION ');
 has_table_privilege
---------------------
 t
(1 row)
```
has_tablespace_privilege(user, tablespace, privilege)

Description: Specifies whether a specified user has permission for tablespaces.

pg_has_role(user, role, privilege)

Description: Specifies whether a specified user has permission for roles.

Return type: Boolean
pg_has_role(role, privilege)

Description: Specifies whether the current user has permission for roles.

Return type: Boolean

Note: pg_has_role checks whether a user can access a role in a particular way. Its argument possibilities are analogous to has_table_privilege, except that public is not allowed as a user name. The desired access permission type must evaluate to some combination of MEMBER or USAGE. MEMBER denotes direct or indirect membership in the role (that is, the right to do SET ROLE), while USAGE denotes the permissions of the role are available without doing SET ROLE.
