Dear all,
Today I researched on giving privileges in Postgres databases. I have 4
databases and near about 150 tables, 50-60 sequences and also some views
in it.
I want to give privileges to a new user in all these objects. I created
a function for that but don't know how to give privileges on all objects
all at once.
**************Function for granting all privileges on all tables in
postgres database**************************
Step 1 : Create a new user with password
create user abc with password 'as123';
Step 2 :
create function grant_all(a text) returns void as $$
declare
name text;
user_name alias for $1;
begin
for name in select table_name from information_schema.tables where
table_schema = 'public' loop
execute 'grant all on table ' || name || ' to ' || user_name ;
end loop;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
Step 3 :
select grant_all('abc');
Step 4 :
Finish
This will grant on tables only but Do I need to manually issue grant
commands on all objects.
I want to issue it all at once.
You just need to add the other "GRANT ALL ON <object type> <object name>
to <user name>" in your function.
But how it picks all view & sequence names one by one, I iterate in my
loop each table name .
Manually the command is :
grant all on sequence_name to user_name;
Thanks
