Thread: Query a role's permission on a function

Query a role's permission on a function

Hi team, 

This sounds easy enough, but I can't quite figure out searching around. Can anybody please tell me which catalog table to query to find out whether a role/user has execute permission on a function?  

Thanks in advance,
 
Kevin Tu

Try this :- 
SELECT proacl 
FROM pg_proc 
WHERE proname='<Name of function>';

I'd suggest using has_function_privilege() instead of trying to duplicate
the logic for yourself.
