Description
REASSIGN OWNED
instructs the system to change the ownership of database objects owned by any of the old_roles
to new_role
.
Parameters
old_role
-
The name of a role. The ownership of all the objects within the current database, and of all shared objects (databases, tablespaces), owned by this role will be reassigned to
new_role
. new_role
-
The name of the role that will be made the new owner of the affected objects.
Notes
REASSIGN OWNED
is often used to prepare for the removal of one or more roles. Because REASSIGN OWNED
does not affect objects within other databases, it is usually necessary to execute this command in each database that contains objects owned by a role that is to be removed.
REASSIGN OWNED
requires privileges on both the source role(s) and the target role.
The DROP OWNED command is an alternative that simply drops all the database objects owned by one or more roles.
The REASSIGN OWNED
command does not affect any privileges granted to the old_roles
for objects that are not owned by them. Use DROP OWNED
to revoke such privileges.
See Section 21.4 for more discussion.
Compatibility
The REASSIGN OWNED
command is a PostgreSQL extension.
