Access control requirements¶

A role used to execute this SQL command must have at least one of the following privileges at a minimum:

Privilege	Object	Notes
OWNERSHIP	Packages policy	OWNERSHIP is a special privilege on an object that is automatically granted to the role that created the object, but can also be transferred using the GRANT OWNERSHIP command to a different role by the owning role (or any role with the MANAGE GRANTS privilege).
USAGE	Packages policy	Enables viewing a packages policy. Grants the ability to view the contents of a packages policy in a SHOW or DESCRIBE command and INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CURRENT_PACKAGES_POLICY. Can be granted to a role using the GRANT <privileges> command.

The USAGE privilege on the parent database and schema are required to perform operations on any object in a schema.

For instructions on creating a custom role with a specified set of privileges, see Creating custom roles.

For general information about roles and privilege grants for performing SQL actions on securable objects, see Overview of Access Control.

Usage notes¶

To post-process the output of this command, you can use the RESULT_SCAN function, which treats the output as a table that can be queried.
