Thread: Documentation of FOR ROLE clause of ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES missing
Documentation of FOR ROLE clause of ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES missing
From
PG Doc comments form
Date:
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/sql-alterdefaultprivileges.html Description: The documentation of ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES statements seems to lack an elaboration of the FOR ROLE clause. It specifies what restrictions exist (namely "The name of an existing role of which the current role is a member."), but what the specified role is actually used for remains a mystery. The documentation should read something like: "The default permissions are only granted on objects created by this role."

I know this is five years late, but we fixed this issue and the new docs will appear in Postgres 17: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/sql-alterdefaultprivileges.html We felt the doc rewrite was too extensive to backpatch. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com Only you can decide what is important to you.
