Transact-SQL syntax conventions
Syntax
REVOKE [ GRANT OPTION FOR ] permission [ ,...n ]
ON DATABASE SCOPED CREDENTIAL :: credential_name
{ TO | FROM } database_principal [ ,...n ]
[ CASCADE ]
[ AS revoking_principal ]
Arguments
GRANT OPTION FOR
Indicates that the ability to grant the specified permission 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.
permission
Specifies a permission that can be revoked on a database scoped credential. Listed below.
ON CERTIFICATE ::credential_name
Specifies the database scoped credential 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
A cascaded revocation of a permission granted WITH GRANT OPTION will revoke both GRANT and DENY of that permission.
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.
