REVOKE FROM USER

Access to Dremio objects can be managed by revoking privileges from users. A privilege is the right to perform a specific action on an object.

Syntax
REVOKE { objectPrivilege | ALL } ON { <object_type> <object_name> }
FROM USER <username>
Syntax for revoking privileges on all folders in an Arctic catalog
REVOKE { objectPrivilege } ON ALL FOLDERS IN CATALOG { <object_name> }
FROM USER <username>
Syntax for revoking privileges on all tables and views in an Arctic catalog
REVOKE { objectPrivilege } ON ALL DATASETS IN CATALOG { <object_name> }
FROM USER <username>
note

The DELETE, INSERT, TRUNCATE, and UPDATE privileges are supported only for Iceberg tables.

The CREATE TABLE and DROP privileges are supported only for sources that support mutability.

Parameters

<objectPrivilege> String

The privilege(s) to be revoked from the user. A comma-separated list of privileges can be specified. For more information, read Privileges.

The name of the type of object for which the specified privilege is being revoked.


<object_name> String

The name of the object for which the privilege is being revoked. Object names need to be qualified with the path if they are nested.

note

For <object_type> ORG or PROJECT, the <object_name> is inferred and should be omitted from the statement.

For tables and views in an Arctic catalog, reference to the specific branch, tag, or commit in the catalog where you want to run the SQL command. If you do not specify a reference value in the command for a table or view in an Arctic catalog, the command runs on the catalog's default branch
