Arguments
permission

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.
Caution
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

application role
database user mapped to a Windows login
database user mapped to a Windows group
