postgresql - view schema privileges

Question

Is there a query I can run to show currently assigned privileges on a particular schema?

i.e. privileges that were assigned like so:

GRANT USAGE ON S         


        

Answer 1

List all schemas with their priveleges for current user:

WITH "names"("name") AS (
  SELECT n.nspname AS "name"
    FROM pg_catalog.pg_namespace n
      WHERE n.nspname !~ '^pg_'
        AND n.nspname <> 'information_schema'
) SELECT "name",
  pg_catalog.has_schema_privilege(current_user, "name", 'CREATE') AS "create",
  pg_catalog.has_schema_privilege(current_user, "name", 'USAGE') AS "usage"
    FROM "names";

The response will be for example:

  name   | create | usage 
---------+--------+-------
 public  | t      | t
 test    | t      | t
 awesome | f      | f
(3 rows)

In this example current user is not owner of the awesome schema.

As you could guess, similar request for particular schema:

SELECT
  pg_catalog.has_schema_privilege(
    current_user, 'awesome', 'CREATE') AS "create",
  pg_catalog.has_schema_privilege(
    current_user, 'awesome', 'USAGE') AS "usage";

and response:

 create | usage 
--------+-------
 f      | f

As you know, it's possible to use pg_catalog.current_schema() for current schema.

Of all the possible privileges

-- SELECT
-- INSERT
-- UPDATE
-- DELETE
-- TRUNCATE
-- REFERENCES
-- TRIGGER
-- CREATE
-- CONNECT
-- TEMP
-- EXECUTE
-- USAGE

the only CREATE and USAGE allowed for schemas.

Like the current_schema() the current_user can be replaced with particular role.

BONUS with current column

WITH "names"("name") AS (
  SELECT n.nspname AS "name"
    FROM pg_catalog.pg_namespace n
      WHERE n.nspname !~ '^pg_'
        AND n.nspname <> 'information_schema'
) SELECT "name",
  pg_catalog.has_schema_privilege(current_user, "name", 'CREATE') AS "create",
  pg_catalog.has_schema_privilege(current_user, "name", 'USAGE')  AS "usage",
  "name" = pg_catalog.current_schema() AS "current"
    FROM "names";

--   name   | create | usage | current
-- ---------+--------+-------+---------
--  public  | t      | t     | t
--  test    | t      | t     | f
--  awesome | f      | f     | f
-- (3 rows)
