Re: Error 42501 permission denied for schema

Sorry for the confusion that I have caused

- roles > role1 , role2
- schemas > schema1, schema2
- GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA schema1 TO role2;
- create function fnc_name(IN i_id numeric)
- function is created using role2

I ended up getting the error

ERROR: permission denied for schema schema1
SQL state: 42501

Appreciate your help.
