REVOKE Schema Permissions (Transact-SQL)

Revokes permissions on a schema.

Transact-SQL Syntax Conventions

Syntax

REVOKE [ GRANT OPTION FOR ] permission  [ ,...n ] 
    ON SCHEMA :: schema_name 
    { TO | FROM } database_principal [ ,...n ]
    [ CASCADE ]
    [ AS revoking_principal ]

Arguments

• permission
  Specifies a permission that can be revoked on a schema. The permissions that can be revoked on a schema are listed in the "Remarks" section, later in this topic.

• GRANT OPTION FOR
  Indicates that the right to grant the specified right to other principals will be revoked. The permission itself will not be revoked.

  Important

  If the principal has the specified permission without the GRANT option, the permission itself will be revoked.

• ON SCHEMA :: schema_name
  Specifies the schema on which the permission is being revoked. The scope qualifier :: is required.

• database_principal
  Specifies the principal from which the permission is being revoked. One of the following:

  • database user

  • database role

  • application role

  • database user mapped to a Windows login

  • database user mapped to a Windows group

  • database user mapped to a certificate

  • database user mapped to an asymmetric key

  • database user not mapped to a server principal.

• CASCADE
  Indicates that the permission being revoked is also revoked from other principals to which it has been granted by this principal.

  Warning

  Indicates that the permission being revoked is also revoked from other principals to which it has been granted or denied by this principal.

• AS revoking_principal
  Specifies a principal from which the principal executing this query derives its right to revoke the permission. One of the following:

  • database user

  • database role

  • application role

  • database user mapped to a Windows login

  • database user mapped to a Windows group

  • database user mapped to a certificate

  • database user mapped to an asymmetric key

  • database user not mapped to a server principal.

Remarks

A schema is a database-level securable contained by the database that is its parent in the permissions hierarchy. The most specific and limited permissions that can be revoked on a schema are listed in the following table, together with the more general permissions that include them by implication.

Schema permission	Implied by schema permission	Implied by database permission
ALTER	CONTROL	ALTER ANY SCHEMA
CONTROL	CONTROL	CONTROL
CREATE SEQUENCE	ALTER	ALTER ANY SCHEMA
DELETE	CONTROL	DELETE
EXECUTE	CONTROL	EXECUTE
INSERT	CONTROL	INSERT
REFERENCES	CONTROL	REFERENCES
SELECT	CONTROL	SELECT
TAKE OWNERSHIP	CONTROL	CONTROL
UPDATE	CONTROL	UPDATE
VIEW CHANGE TRACKING	CONTROL	CONTROL
VIEW DEFINITION	CONTROL	VIEW DEFINITION

Permissions

Requires CONTROL permission on the schema.
