REVOKE (Resource Pool)

Revokes resource pool access privileges from users and roles.

Vertica checks resource pool privileges at runtime. Revoking a user's privileges for a resource pool can have an immediate effect on the user's current session. For example, a user query might require USAGE privileges on a resource pool. If you revoke those privileges from that user, subsequent attempts by the user to execute that query fail and return with an error message.

Syntax

REVOKE  [ GRANT OPTION FOR ] { USAGE | ALL PRIVILEGES } 
   ON RESOURCE POOL resource-pool[,…]
   FROM grantee[,…] 
   [ CASCADE ]

Parameters

GRANT OPTION FOR

Revokes the grant option for the specified privileges. Current privileges for grantees remain unaffected. If you omit this clause, Vertica revokes both the grant option and current privileges.
USAGE Revokes grantees ability to use the specified resource pools.
ALL PRIVILEGES

Revokes all resource pool privileges that also belong to the revoker. Users cannot revoke privileges that they themselves lack.

The optional keyword PRIVILEGES conforms with the SQL standard.
resource‑pool

The target resource pool
grantee Specifies whose privileges are revoked, one of the following:
CASCADE

If the target grantees have a grant option to extend the specified privileges to other users, CASCADE specifies to search for these users and revoke the privileges from them also.

Privileges

Non-superuser, one of the following:

  • Owner
  • Privileges grantee given the option (WITH GRANT OPTION) of revoking privileges from other users or roles.

Examples

Revoke user Joe's USAGE privileges on the Joe_pool resource pool.

=> REVOKE USAGE ON RESOURCE POOL Joe_pool FROM Joe;
REVOKE PRIVILEGE
