Object owner privileges

The database, along with every object in it, has an owner. The object owner is usually the person who created the object, although a superuser can alter ownership of objects, such as table and sequence.

Object owners must have appropriate schema privilege to access, alter, rename, move or drop any object it owns without any additional privileges.

An object owner can also:

• Grant privileges on their own object to other users

  The WITH GRANT OPTION clause specifies that a user can grant the permission to other users. For example, if user Bob creates a table, Bob can grant privileges on that table to users Ted, Alice, and so on.

• Grant privileges to roles

  Users who are granted the role gain the privilege.
