    SQL privileges #

    The Starburst Galaxy access control system manages privileges to access all entities – roles, users, clusters, catalogs, schemas, tables, views, columns, object storage locations, functions, and SQL routines.

    The privileges of some entities can also be managed with SQL commands. The following table lists the available types of entities and their associated privileges that can be managed with SQL statements.

    Entities with No SQL privileges in the Privileges column can only be managed with the Starburst Galaxy UI, and not with SQL commands.
