ALTER POLICY
change the definition of a row-level security policy
ALTER POLICY name ON table_name RENAME TO new_name
ALTER POLICY name ON table_name
[ TO { role_name | PUBLIC | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER } [, ...] ]
[ USING ( using_expression ) ]
[ WITH CHECK ( check_expression ) ]
Description
ALTER POLICY changes the definition of an existing
row-level security policy. Note that ALTER POLICY
only allows the set of roles to which the policy applies and the
USING and WITH CHECK expressions to
be modified. To change other properties of a policy, such as the command
to which it applies or whether it is permissive or restrictive, the policy
must be dropped and recreated.
To use ALTER POLICY, you must own the table that
the policy applies to.
In the second form of ALTER POLICY, the role list,
using_expression, and
check_expression are replaced
independently if specified. When one of those clauses is omitted, the
corresponding part of the policy is unchanged.
Parameters
name
The name of an existing policy to alter.
table_name
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table that the
policy is on.
new_name
The new name for the policy.
role_name
The role(s) to which the policy applies. Multiple roles can be
specified at one time. To apply the policy to all roles,
use PUBLIC.
using_expression
The USING expression for the policy.
See for details.
check_expression
The WITH CHECK expression for the policy.
See for details.
