Synopsis

• Grant or revoke privileges on PostgreSQL database objects.

• psycopg2

Parameters

Notes

Examples

# On database "library":
# GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON TABLE public.books, public.authors
# TO librarian, reader WITH GRANT OPTION
- postgresql_privs:
    database: library
    state: present
    privs: SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE
    type: table
    objs: books,authors
    schema: public
    roles: librarian,reader
    grant_option: yes

# Same as above leveraging default values:
- postgresql_privs:
    db: library
    privs: SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE
    objs: books,authors
    roles: librarian,reader
    grant_option: yes

# REVOKE GRANT OPTION FOR INSERT ON TABLE books FROM reader
# Note that role "reader" will be *granted* INSERT privilege itself if this
# isn't already the case (since state: present).
- postgresql_privs:
    db: library
    state: present
    priv: INSERT
    obj: books
    role: reader
    grant_option: no

# REVOKE INSERT, UPDATE ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public FROM reader
# "public" is the default schema. This also works for PostgreSQL 8.x.
- postgresql_privs:
    db: library
    state: absent
    privs: INSERT,UPDATE
    objs: ALL_IN_SCHEMA
    role: reader

# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON SCHEMA public, math TO librarian
- postgresql_privs:
    db: library
    privs: ALL
    type: schema
    objs: public,math
    role: librarian

# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON FUNCTION math.add(int, int) TO librarian, reader
# Note the separation of arguments with colons.
- postgresql_privs:
    db: library
    privs: ALL
    type: function
    obj: add(int:int)
    schema: math
    roles: librarian,reader

# GRANT librarian, reader TO alice, bob WITH ADMIN OPTION
# Note that group role memberships apply cluster-wide and therefore are not
# restricted to database "library" here.
- postgresql_privs:
    db: library
    type: group
    objs: librarian,reader
    roles: alice,bob
    admin_option: yes

# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE library TO librarian
# Note that here "db: postgres" specifies the database to connect to, not the
# database to grant privileges on (which is specified via the "objs" param)
- postgresql_privs:
    db: postgres
    privs: ALL
    type: database
    obj: library
    role: librarian

# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE library TO librarian
# If objs is omitted for type "database", it defaults to the database
# to which the connection is established
- postgresql_privs:
    db: library
    privs: ALL
    type: database
    role: librarian
