REASSIGN OWNED(7) PostgreSQL 15.7 Documentation REASSIGN OWNED(7)
NAME
REASSIGN_OWNED - change the ownership of database objects owned by a
database role
SYNOPSIS
REASSIGN OWNED BY { old_role | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER } [, ...]
TO { new_role | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER }
DESCRIPTION
REASSIGN OWNED instructs the system to change the ownership of database
objects owned by any of the old_roles to new_role.
PARAMETERS
old_role
The name of a role. The ownership of all the objects within the
current database, and of all shared objects (databases,
tablespaces), owned by this role will be reassigned to new_role.
new_role
The name of the role that will be made the new owner of the
affected objects.
NOTES
REASSIGN OWNED is often used to prepare for the removal of one or more
roles. Because REASSIGN OWNED does not affect objects within other
databases, it is usually necessary to execute this command in each
database that contains objects owned by a role that is to be removed.
REASSIGN OWNED requires membership on both the source role(s) and the
target role.
The DROP OWNED command is an alternative that simply drops all the
database objects owned by one or more roles.
The REASSIGN OWNED command does not affect any privileges granted to
the old_roles on objects that are not owned by them. Likewise, it does
not affect default privileges created with ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES.
Use DROP OWNED to revoke such privileges.
See Section 22.4 for more discussion.
COMPATIBILITY
The REASSIGN OWNED command is a PostgreSQL extension.
