PostgreSQL Revoke


The REVOKE command revokes previously granted privileges from one or more roles       Syntax-for grant option:

REVOKE [ GRANT OPTION FOR ]
    { { SELECT | INSERT | UPDATE | DELETE | TRUNCATE | REFERENCES | TRIGGER }
    [, ...] | ALL [ PRIVILEGES ] }
    ON { [ TABLE ] table_name [, ...]
         | ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA schema_name [, ...] }
    FROM { [ GROUP ] role_name | PUBLIC } [, ...]
    [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ] 
SIMPLE PRACTICAL:
-- connect as u1 user and view the buy table 
postgres=> select * from benz2.buy; 
 item_id | volume 
---------+--------
      10 |   1000
      30 |    300
(2 rows)
--connect as u2 superuser and revoke privileges from u1 user
postgres=# revoke all privileges on benz2.buy from u1;        
REVOKE
--after revoking privilege u1 user con't view the buy table
postgres=> select * from benz2.buy;
ERROR:  permission denied for relation buy
Granting options are two methods:
I.WITH GRANT OPTION
II.WITH ADMIN OPTION

I.WITH GRANT OPTION:
If GRANT OPTION FOR is specified, only the grant option for the privilege is revoked, not the privilege itself. Otherwise, both the privilege and the grant option are revoked.

If a user holds a privilege with grant option and has granted it to other users then the privileges held by those other users are called dependent privileges. If the privilege or the grant option held by the first user is being revoked and dependent privileges exist, those dependent privileges are also revoked if CASCADE is specified; if it is not, the revoke action will fail. This recursive revocation only affects privileges that were granted through a chain of users that is traceable to the user that is the subject of this REVOKE command. Thus, the affected users might effectively keep the privilege if it was also granted through other users.

--list down the user for which user do u want to grant & revoke,Now we will choose u3 & u5 user

you can revoke privileges using two method from u2 superuser
1.Revoke cascade method 
2.Revoke chain method

1.REVOKE CASCADE METHOD:
if you try to revoke without cascade method it will throw following error so you need to use cascade method from u2 superuser

--connect as u2 user and issue the following command
postgres=# revoke SELECT ON benz2.demo from u3;               
ERROR:  dependent privileges exist
HINT:  Use CASCADE to revoke them too.
solution:
postgres=# revoke SELECT ON benz2.demo from u3 cascade;       
REVOKE
2.REVOKE CHAIN METHOD:
this system is first you need to revoke privileges from u5 user after that revoke from u3 user without using cascade option

--connect as u3 user & issue the following command
postgres=> revoke SELECT ON benz2.demo from u5;               
REVOKE
--connect the u2 user & issue the following command
postgres=# revoke SELECT ON benz2.demo from u3;               
REVOKE

II.WITH ADMIN OPTION:
When revoking membership in a role, GRANT OPTION is instead called ADMIN OPTION, but the behavior is similar. Note also that this form of the command does not allow the noise word GROUP.
syntax- for with admin option:
REVOKE [ ADMIN OPTION FOR ]
    role_name [, ...] FROM role_name [, ...]
    [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
--Following command will show that u2 user what are the  privileges having to access postgres objects
