New in v21.2:
The SHOW DEFAULT PRIVILEGES statement lists the default privileges for the objects created by users/roles in the current database.
Synopsis
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
FOR ROLE name/FOR USER name |
List the default privileges on objects created by a specific user/role, or a list of users/roles. |
FOR ALL ROLES |
List the default privileges on objects created by any user/role. |
Note:
If you do not specify a FOR ... clause, CockroachDB returns the default privileges on objects created by the current user.
Required privileges
To show default privileges, the user/role must have any privilege on the current database.
