33.47. 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.
