Revoking privileges
Catalog Manager
cannot be used to circumvent the Db2 rules for controlling access to data.
Rules for revoking authorizations can be summarized as follows:
- Authorizations can be revoked only by a user ID with SYSADM or SYSCTRL authority, or by the user ID that granted the authorization.
- Authorizations that are granted implicitly cannot be revoked. For example, you cannot revoke the authorization to create a table from a user ID with DBADM authority because creating tables is a privilege that is implicitly available to DBADM authority.
- User IDs cannot revoke authorizations from themselves.
- No user ID (including those with SYSADM or SYSCTRL authority) can revoke privileges on a Db2 resource from the creator of the resource.
- Replicate authorizations that were granted to the same user ID from more than one grantor remain effective until revoked by each grantor.
