+ The <code class="command">REVOKE</code> command revokes previously granted
+ privileges from one or more roles. The key word
+ <code class="literal">PUBLIC</code> refers to the implicitly defined group of
+ all roles.
+ </p><p>
+ See the description of the <a class="link" href="sql-grant.html" title="GRANT"><code class="command">GRANT</code></a> command for
+ the meaning of the privilege types.
+ </p><p>
+ Note that any particular role will have the sum
+ of privileges granted directly to it, privileges granted to any role it
+ is presently a member of, and privileges granted to
+ <code class="literal">PUBLIC</code>. Thus, for example, revoking <code class="literal">SELECT</code> privilege
+ from <code class="literal">PUBLIC</code> does not necessarily mean that all roles
+ have lost <code class="literal">SELECT</code> privilege on the object: those who have it granted
+ directly or via another role will still have it. Similarly, revoking
+ <code class="literal">SELECT</code> from a user might not prevent that user from using
+ <code class="literal">SELECT</code> if <code class="literal">PUBLIC</code> or another membership
+ role still has <code class="literal">SELECT</code> rights.
+ </p><p>
+ If <code class="literal">GRANT OPTION FOR</code> is specified, only the grant
+ option for the privilege is revoked, not the privilege itself.
+ Otherwise, both the privilege and the grant option are revoked.
+ </p><p>
+ If a user holds a privilege with grant option and has granted it to
+ other users then the privileges held by those other users are
+ called dependent privileges. If the privilege or the grant option
+ held by the first user is being revoked and dependent privileges
+ exist, those dependent privileges are also revoked if
+ <code class="literal">CASCADE</code> is specified; if it is not, the revoke action
+ will fail. This recursive revocation only affects privileges that
+ were granted through a chain of users that is traceable to the user
+ that is the subject of this <code class="literal">REVOKE</code> command.
+ Thus, the affected users might effectively keep the privilege if it
+ was also granted through other users.
+ </p><p>
+ When revoking privileges on a table, the corresponding column privileges
+ (if any) are automatically revoked on each column of the table, as well.
+ On the other hand, if a role has been granted privileges on a table, then
+ revoking the same privileges from individual columns will have no effect.
+ </p><p>
+ When revoking membership in a role, <code class="literal">GRANT OPTION</code> is instead
+ called <code class="literal">ADMIN OPTION</code>, but the behavior is similar.
+ This form of the command also allows a <code class="literal">GRANTED BY</code>
+ option, but that option is currently ignored (except for checking
+ the existence of the named role).
+ Note also that this form of the command does not
+ allow the noise word <code class="literal">GROUP</code>
+ in <em class="replaceable"><code>role_specification</code></em>.
+ </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="SQL-REVOKE-NOTES"><h2>Notes</h2><p>
+ A user can only revoke privileges that were granted directly by
+ that user. If, for example, user A has granted a privilege with
+ grant option to user B, and user B has in turn granted it to user
+ C, then user A cannot revoke the privilege directly from C.
+ Instead, user A could revoke the grant option from user B and use
+ the <code class="literal">CASCADE</code> option so that the privilege is
+ in turn revoked from user C. For another example, if both A and B
+ have granted the same privilege to C, A can revoke their own grant
+ but not B's grant, so C will still effectively have the privilege.
+ </p><p>
+ When a non-owner of an object attempts to <code class="command">REVOKE</code> privileges
+ on the object, the command will fail outright if the user has no
+ privileges whatsoever on the object. As long as some privilege is
+ available, the command will proceed, but it will revoke only those
+ privileges for which the user has grant options. The <code class="command">REVOKE ALL
+ PRIVILEGES</code> forms will issue a warning message if no grant options are
+ held, while the other forms will issue a warning if grant options for
+ any of the privileges specifically named in the command are not held.
+ (In principle these statements apply to the object owner as well, but
+ since the owner is always treated as holding all grant options, the
+ cases can never occur.)
+ </p><p>
+ If a superuser chooses to issue a <code class="command">GRANT</code> or <code class="command">REVOKE</code>
+ command, the command is performed as though it were issued by the
+ owner of the affected object. Since all privileges ultimately come
+ from the object owner (possibly indirectly via chains of grant options),
+ it is possible for a superuser to revoke all privileges, but this might
+ require use of <code class="literal">CASCADE</code> as stated above.
+ </p><p>
+ <code class="command">REVOKE</code> can also be done by a role
+ that is not the owner of the affected object, but is a member of the role
+ that owns the object, or is a member of a role that holds privileges
+ <code class="literal">WITH GRANT OPTION</code> on the object. In this case the
+ command is performed as though it were issued by the containing role that
+ actually owns the object or holds the privileges
+ <code class="literal">WITH GRANT OPTION</code>. For example, if table
+ <code class="literal">t1</code> is owned by role <code class="literal">g1</code>, of which role
+ <code class="literal">u1</code> is a member, then <code class="literal">u1</code> can revoke privileges
+ on <code class="literal">t1</code> that are recorded as being granted by <code class="literal">g1</code>.
+ This would include grants made by <code class="literal">u1</code> as well as by other
+ members of role <code class="literal">g1</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ If the role executing <code class="command">REVOKE</code> holds privileges
+ indirectly via more than one role membership path, it is unspecified
+ which containing role will be used to perform the command. In such cases
+ it is best practice to use <code class="command">SET ROLE</code> to become the specific
+ role you want to do the <code class="command">REVOKE</code> as. Failure to do so might
+ lead to revoking privileges other than the ones you intended, or not
+ revoking anything at all.
+ </p><p>
+ See <a class="xref" href="ddl-priv.html" title="5.7. Privileges">Section 5.7</a> for more information about specific
+ privilege types, as well as how to inspect objects' privileges.
