Semantics
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES defines the privileges for objects created in future. It does not affect objects that are already created.
Users can change default privileges only for objects that are created by them or by roles that they are a member of.
Examples
- Grant SELECT privilege to all tables that are created in schema marketing to all users.
yugabyte=# ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA marketing GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO PUBLIC;
- Revoke INSERT privilege on all tables from user john.
yugabyte=# ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES REVOKE INSERT ON TABLES FROM john;
