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). |
Note that operating on any object in a schema also requires the USAGE privilege on the parent database and 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¶
You cannot recover dropped authentication policies. You must recreate them.
You cannot drop an authentication policy if it is set on an account or user.
