   When an object is created, it is assigned an owner. The
   owner is normally the role that executed the creation statement.
   For most kinds of objects, the initial state is that only the owner
   (or a superuser) can do anything with the object. To allow
   other roles to use it, <em class="firstterm">privileges</em> must be
   granted.
  </p><p>
   There are different kinds of privileges: <code class="literal">SELECT</code>,
   <code class="literal">INSERT</code>, <code class="literal">UPDATE</code>, <code class="literal">DELETE</code>,
   <code class="literal">TRUNCATE</code>, <code class="literal">REFERENCES</code>, <code class="literal">TRIGGER</code>,
   <code class="literal">CREATE</code>, <code class="literal">CONNECT</code>, <code class="literal">TEMPORARY</code>,
   <code class="literal">EXECUTE</code>, <code class="literal">USAGE</code>, <code class="literal">SET</code>
   and <code class="literal">ALTER SYSTEM</code>.
   The privileges applicable to a particular
   object vary depending on the object's type (table, function, etc.).
   More detail about the meanings of these privileges appears below.
   The following sections and chapters will also show you how
   these privileges are used.
  </p><p>
   The right to modify or destroy an object is inherent in being the
   object's owner, and cannot be granted or revoked in itself.
   (However, like all privileges, that right can be inherited by
   members of the owning role; see <a class="xref" href="role-membership.html" title="22.3. Role Membership">Section 22.3</a>.)
  </p><p>
   An object can be assigned to a new owner with an <code class="command">ALTER</code>
   command of the appropriate kind for the object, for example
</p><pre class="programlisting">
ALTER TABLE <em class="replaceable"><code>table_name</code></em> OWNER TO <em class="replaceable"><code>new_owner</code></em>;
</pre><p>
   Superusers can always do this; ordinary roles can only do it if they are
   both the current owner of the object (or a member of the owning role) and
   a member of the new owning role.
  </p><p>
   To assign privileges, the <a class="xref" href="sql-grant.html" title="GRANT"><span class="refentrytitle">GRANT</span></a> command is
   used. For example, if <code class="literal">joe</code> is an existing role, and
   <code class="literal">accounts</code> is an existing table, the privilege to
   update the table can be granted with:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
GRANT UPDATE ON accounts TO joe;
</pre><p>
   Writing <code class="literal">ALL</code> in place of a specific privilege grants all
   privileges that are relevant for the object type.
  </p><p>
   The special <span class="quote"><span class="quote">role</span></span> name <code class="literal">PUBLIC</code> can
   be used to grant a privilege to every role on the system.  Also,
   <span class="quote"><span class="quote">group</span></span> roles can be set up to help manage privileges when
   there are many users of a database — for details see
   <a class="xref" href="user-manag.html" title="Chapter 22. Database Roles">Chapter 22</a>.
  </p><p>
   To revoke a previously-granted privilege, use the fittingly named
   <a class="xref" href="sql-revoke.html" title="REVOKE"><span class="refentrytitle">REVOKE</span></a> command:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
REVOKE ALL ON accounts FROM PUBLIC;
</pre><p>
  </p><p>
   Ordinarily, only the object's owner (or a superuser) can grant or
   revoke privileges on an object.  However, it is possible to grant a
   privilege <span class="quote"><span class="quote">with grant option</span></span>, which gives the recipient
   the right to grant it in turn to others.  If the grant option is
   subsequently revoked then all who received the privilege from that
   recipient (directly or through a chain of grants) will lose the
   privilege.  For details see the <a class="xref" href="sql-grant.html" title="GRANT"><span class="refentrytitle">GRANT</span></a> and
   <a class="xref" href="sql-revoke.html" title="REVOKE"><span class="refentrytitle">REVOKE</span></a> reference pages.
  </p><p>
   An object's owner can choose to revoke their own ordinary privileges,
   for example to make a table read-only for themselves as well as others.
   But owners are always treated as holding all grant options, so they
   can always re-grant their own privileges.
  </p><p>
   The available privileges are:

   </p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">SELECT</code></span></dt><dd><p>
       Allows <code class="command">SELECT</code> from
       any column, or specific column(s), of a table, view, materialized
       view, or other table-like object.
       Also allows use of <code class="command">COPY TO</code>.
       This privilege is also needed to reference existing column values in
       <code class="command">UPDATE</code>, <code class="command">DELETE</code>,
       or <code class="command">MERGE</code>.
       For sequences, this privilege also allows use of the
       <code class="function">currval</code> function.
       For large objects, this privilege allows the object to be read.
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">INSERT</code></span></dt><dd><p>
       Allows <code class="command">INSERT</code> of a new row into a table, view,
       etc.  Can be granted on specific column(s), in which case
       only those columns may be assigned to in the <code class="command">INSERT</code>
       command (other columns will therefore receive default values).
       Also allows use of <code class="command">COPY FROM</code>.
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">UPDATE</code></span></dt><dd><p>
       Allows <code class="command">UPDATE</code> of any
       column, or specific column(s), of a table, view, etc.
       (In practice, any nontrivial <code class="command">UPDATE</code> command will
       require <code class="literal">SELECT</code> privilege as well, since it must
       reference table columns to determine which rows to update, and/or to
       compute new values for columns.)
       <code class="literal">SELECT ... FOR UPDATE</code>
       and <code class="literal">SELECT ... FOR SHARE</code>
       also require this privilege on at least one column, in addition to the
       <code class="literal">SELECT</code> privilege.  For sequences, this
       privilege allows use of the <code class="function">nextval</code> and
       <code class="function">setval</code> functions.
       For large objects, this privilege allows writing or truncating the
       object.
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">DELETE</code></span></dt><dd><p>
       Allows <code class="command">DELETE</code> of a row from a table, view, etc.
       (In practice, any nontrivial <code class="command">DELETE</code> command will
       require <code class="literal">SELECT</code> privilege as well, since it must
       reference table columns to determine which rows to delete.)
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">TRUNCATE</code></span></dt><dd><p>
       Allows <code class="command">TRUNCATE</code> on a table.
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">REFERENCES</code></span></dt><dd><p>
       Allows creation of a foreign key constraint referencing a
       table, or specific column(s) of a table.
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">TRIGGER</code></span></dt><dd><p>
       Allows creation of a trigger on a table, view, etc.
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">CREATE</code></span></dt><dd><p>
       For databases, allows new schemas and publications to be created within
       the database, and allows trusted extensions to be installed within
       the database.
      </p><p>
       For schemas, allows new objects to be created within the schema.
       To rename an existing object, you must own the
       object <span class="emphasis"><em>and</em></span> have this privilege for the containing
       schema.
      </p><p>
       For tablespaces, allows tables, indexes, and temporary files to be
       created within the tablespace, and allows databases to be created that
       have the tablespace as their default tablespace.
      </p><p>
       Note that revoking this privilege will not alter the existence or
       location of existing objects.
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">CONNECT</code></span></dt><dd><p>
       Allows the grantee to connect to the database.  This
       privilege is checked at connection startup (in addition to checking
       any restrictions imposed by <code class="filename">pg_hba.conf</code>).
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">TEMPORARY</code></span></dt><dd><p>
       Allows temporary tables to be created while using the database.
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">EXECUTE</code></span></dt><dd><p>
       Allows calling a function or procedure, including use of
       any operators that are implemented on top of the function.  This is the
       only type of privilege that is applicable to functions and procedures.
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">USAGE</code></span></dt><dd><p>
       For procedural languages, allows use of the language for
       the creation of functions in that language.  This is the only type
       of privilege that is applicable to procedural languages.
      </p><p>
       For schemas, allows access to objects contained in the
       schema (assuming that the objects' own privilege requirements are
       also met).  Essentially this allows the grantee to <span class="quote"><span class="quote">look up</span></span>
       objects within the schema.  Without this permission, it is still
       possible to see the object names, e.g., by querying system catalogs.
       Also, after revoking this permission, existing sessions might have
       statements that have previously performed this lookup, so this is not
       a completely secure way to prevent object access.
      </p><p>
       For sequences, allows use of the
       <code class="function">currval</code> and <code class="function">nextval</code> functions.
      </p><p>
       For types and domains, allows use of the type or domain in the
       creation of tables, functions, and other schema objects.  (Note that
       this privilege does not control all <span class="quote"><span class="quote">usage</span></span> of the
       type, such as values of the type appearing in queries.  It only
       prevents objects from being created that depend on the type.  The
       main purpose of this privilege is controlling which users can create
       dependencies on a type, which could prevent the owner from changing
       the type later.)
      </p><p>
       For foreign-data wrappers, allows creation of new servers using the
       foreign-data wrapper.
      </p><p>
       For foreign servers, allows creation of foreign tables using the
       server.  Grantees may also create, alter, or drop their own user
       mappings associated with that server.
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">SET</code></span></dt><dd><p>
       Allows a server configuration parameter to be set to a new value
       within the current session.  (While this privilege can be granted
       on any parameter, it is meaningless except for parameters that would
       normally require superuser privilege to set.)
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">ALTER SYSTEM</code></span></dt><dd><p>
       Allows a server configuration parameter to be configured to a new
       value using the <a class="xref" href="sql-altersystem.html" title="ALTER SYSTEM"><span class="refentrytitle">ALTER SYSTEM</span></a> command.
      </p></dd></dl></div><p>

   The privileges required by other commands are listed on the
   reference page of the respective command.
  </p><p>
   PostgreSQL grants privileges on some types of objects to
   <code class="literal">PUBLIC</code> by default when the objects are created.
   No privileges are granted to <code class="literal">PUBLIC</code> by default on
   tables,
   table columns,
   sequences,
   foreign data wrappers,
   foreign servers,
   large objects,
   schemas,
   tablespaces,
   or configuration parameters.
   For other types of objects, the default privileges
   granted to <code class="literal">PUBLIC</code> are as follows:
   <code class="literal">CONNECT</code> and <code class="literal">TEMPORARY</code> (create
   temporary tables) privileges for databases;
   <code class="literal">EXECUTE</code> privilege for functions and procedures; and
   <code class="literal">USAGE</code> privilege for languages and data types
   (including domains).
   The object owner can, of course, <code class="command">REVOKE</code>
   both default and expressly granted privileges. (For maximum
   security, issue the <code class="command">REVOKE</code> in the same transaction that
   creates the object; then there is no window in which another user
   can use the object.)
   Also, these default privilege settings can be overridden using the
   <a class="xref" href="sql-alterdefaultprivileges.html" title="ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES"><span class="refentrytitle">ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES</span></a> command.
  </p><p>

   The privileges that have been granted for a particular object are
   displayed as a list of <code class="type">aclitem</code> entries, where each
   <code class="type">aclitem</code> describes the permissions of one grantee that
   have been granted by a particular grantor.  For example,
   <code class="literal">calvin=r*w/hobbes</code> specifies that the role
   <code class="literal">calvin</code> has the privilege
   <code class="literal">SELECT</code> (<code class="literal">r</code>) with grant option
   (<code class="literal">*</code>) as well as the non-grantable
   privilege <code class="literal">UPDATE</code> (<code class="literal">w</code>), both granted
   by the role <code class="literal">hobbes</code>.  If <code class="literal">calvin</code>
   also has some privileges on the same object granted by a different
   grantor, those would appear as a separate <code class="type">aclitem</code> entry.
   An empty grantee field in an <code class="type">aclitem</code> stands
   for <code class="literal">PUBLIC</code>.
  </p><p>
   As an example, suppose that user <code class="literal">miriam</code> creates
   table <code class="literal">mytable</code> and does:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
GRANT SELECT ON mytable TO PUBLIC;
GRANT SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT ON mytable TO admin;
GRANT SELECT (col1), UPDATE (col1) ON mytable TO miriam_rw;
</pre><p>
   Then <span class="application">psql</span>'s <code class="literal">\dp</code> command
   would show:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
=&gt; \dp mytable
                                  Access privileges
 Schema |  Name   | Type  |   Access privileges   |   Column privileges   | Policies
--------+---------+-------+-----------------------+-----------------------+----------
 public | mytable | table | miriam=arwdDxt/miriam+| col1:                +|
        |         |       | =r/miriam            +|   miriam_rw=rw/miriam |
        |         |       | admin=arw/miriam      |                       |
(1 row)
</pre><p>
  </p><p>
   If the <span class="quote"><span class="quote">Access privileges</span></span> column is empty for a given
   object, it means the object has default privileges (that is, its
   privileges entry in the relevant system catalog is null).  Default
   privileges always include all privileges for the owner, and can include
   some privileges for <code class="literal">PUBLIC</code> depending on the object
   type, as explained above.  The first <code class="command">GRANT</code>
   or <code class="command">REVOKE</code> on an object will instantiate the default
   privileges (producing, for
   example, <code class="literal">miriam=arwdDxt/miriam</code>) and then modify them
   per the specified request.  Similarly, entries are shown in <span class="quote"><span class="quote">Column
   privileges</span></span> only for columns with nondefault privileges.
   (Note: for this purpose, <span class="quote"><span class="quote">default privileges</span></span> always means
   the built-in default privileges for the object's type.  An object whose
   privileges have been affected by an <code class="command">ALTER DEFAULT
   PRIVILEGES</code> command will always be shown with an explicit
   privilege entry that includes the effects of
   the <code class="command">ALTER</code>.)
  </p><p>
   Notice that the owner's implicit grant options are not marked in the
   access privileges display.  A <code class="literal">*</code> will appear only when
   grant options have been explicitly granted to someone.
