    Entities #

    The Starburst Galaxy access control system manages privileges to access all entities – roles, users, clusters, catalogs, schemas and tables.

    List #

    The following table lists all available types of entities and the associated privileges, if any.

    Entity Description Privileges
    CLUSTER A single cluster specified by name.
    • USE_CLUSTER
    • START_STOP_CLUSTER
    CATALOG A single catalog specified by name. CREATE_SCHEMA
    ROLE A single role specified by name. None
    USER A single user specified by name. None

    Visibility #

    The visibility of an entity for a user is controlled by the following aspects:

    • Ownership of an entity, or any contained entity, provides visibility.
    • Grant of any privilege on an entity, or any contained entity, provides visibility.
    • A wildcard privilege for ownership to any privilege on an entity, provides visibility to existing matching entities and any future matching entities.
    • The MANAGE_SECURITY privilege provides full visibility to all entities.

    Visibility alone does not grant any access to an entity.
