Here fff would need ADMIN OPTION on xxx to be able to make modifications to it.
Please refer to this scenario where I am able to give createrole privileges but not replication privilege to role
postgres=# create role t1 createrole; CREATE ROLE postgres=# create role t2 replication; CREATE ROLE postgres=# create role t3; CREATE ROLE postgres=# grant t3 to t1,t2 with admin option; GRANT ROLE postgres=# set session authorization t1; SET postgres=> alter role t3 createrole ; ALTER ROLE
postgres=> set session authorization t2; SET postgres=> alter role t3 replication; ERROR: permission denied
This same behavior was observed in v14 as well but why i am able to give createrole grant but not replication?
