4.48 usage_privileges
The view usage_privileges identifies
USAGE privileges granted on various kinds of
objects to a currently enabled role or by a currently enabled role.
In PostgreSQL, this currently applies to
domains, foreign-data wrappers, and foreign servers. There is one
row for each combination of object, grantor, and grantee.
Since domains do not have real privileges
in PostgreSQL, this view shows implicit
non-grantable USAGE privileges granted by the
owner to PUBLIC for all domains. The other
object types, however, show real privileges.
