Synopsis
ALTER POLICYname

RENAME TOnew_name
ALTER POLICYname
ONtable_name
[ TO {role_name
| PUBLIC | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER } [, ...] ] [ USING (using_expression
) ] [ WITH CHECK (check_expression
) ]
Description
ALTER POLICY
changes the definition of an existing row-level security policy. Note that ALTER POLICY
only allows the set of roles to which the policy applies and the USING
and WITH CHECK
expressions to be modified. To change other properties of a policy, such as the command to which it applies or whether it is permissive or restrictive, the policy must be dropped and recreated.
To use ALTER POLICY
, you must own the table that the policy applies to.
In the second form of ALTER POLICY
, the role list, using_expression
, and check_expression
are replaced independently if specified. When one of those clauses is omitted, the corresponding part of the policy is unchanged.
Parameters
name
The name of an existing policy to alter.
table_name
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table that the policy is on.
new_name
The new name for the policy.
role_name
The role(s) to which the policy applies. Multiple roles can be specified at one time. To apply the policy to all roles, use
PUBLIC
.using_expression
The
USING
expression for the policy. See CREATE POLICY for details.check_expression
The
WITH CHECK
expression for the policy. See CREATE POLICY for details.
