How to make a query to the Postgres data dictionary to find out all the privileges that a particular user has.
I've been looking for a solution and I can not find anything. Thanks and good day
Another way to do this is to use the information_schema schema and query the table_privileges table as: $ SELECT * FROM information_schema. table_privileges LIMIT 5; The above query will show detailed information about user privileges on databases as well as tables.
A superuser in PostgreSQL is a user who bypasses all permission checks. Superusers can run commands that can destabilize or crash the database server (e.g., create C functions) and access the operating system. Show activity on this post. Superuser is per database.
The view usage_privileges identifies USAGE privileges granted on various kinds of objects to a currently enabled role or by a currently enabled role. In PostgreSQL, this currently applies to collations, domains, foreign-data wrappers, foreign servers, and sequences.
table permissions:
select * from information_schema.role_table_grants where grantee='YOUR_USER' ;
ownership:
select * from pg_tables where tableowner = 'YOUR_USER' ;
schema permissions:
select r.usename as grantor, e.usename as grantee, nspname, privilege_type, is_grantable from pg_namespace join lateral ( SELECT * from aclexplode(nspacl) as x ) a on true join pg_user e on a.grantee = e.usesysid join pg_user r on a.grantor = r.usesysid where e.usename = 'YOUR_USER' ;
