REVOKE (package privileges)

Description for REVOKE (package privileges)

BIND

Revokes the privilege to use the BIND and REBIND subcommands for the designated packages. In addition, if the value of field BIND NEW PACKAGE on installation panel DSNTIPP is BIND, the additional BIND privilege of adding new versions of packages is revoked. (For details, see GRANT (package privileges).)

COPY

Revokes the privilege to use the COPY option of the BIND subcommand for the designated packages.

EXECUTE

Revokes the privilege to run application programs that use the designated packages and to specify the packages following PKLIST for the BIND PLAN and REBIND PLAN commands. RUN is an alternate name for the same privilege.

ALL

Revokes all package privileges for which you have authority for the packages named in the ON clause.

ON PACKAGE collection-id.package-name,...

Identifies packages for which you are revoking privileges. The revoking of a package privilege applies to all versions of that package. For each package that you identify, you (or the indicated grantors) must have granted at least one of the specified privileges on that package to all identified users (including PUBLIC, if specified). An authorization ID with PACKADM authority over the collection or all collections, SYSADM, or SYSCTRL authority can specify all packages in the collection by using * for package-name. The same package must not be specified more than once.

FROM

Refer to REVOKE for a description of the FROM clause.

BY

Refer to REVOKE for a description of the BY clause.

INCLUDING DEPENDENT PRIVILEGES or NOT INCLUDING DEPENDENT PRIVILEGES

Specifies whether revoking a privilege or an authority from an authorization ID or a role also results in revoking the grants that were made by that user. The default value is based on the authority that is being revoked and the REVOKE_DEP_PRIVILEGES system parameter:

• When ACCESSCTRL, DATAACCESS, or system DBADM authority is revoked, NOT INCLUDING DEPENDENT PRIVILEGES is assumed and the clause must be specified on the REVOKE statement.
• When the REVOKE_DEP_PRIVILEGES system parameter is set to NO, NOT INCLUDING DEPENDENT PRIVILEGES is assumed and an error is returned if the statement includes INCLUDING DEPENDENT PRIVILEGES.
• Otherwise, INCLUDING DEPENDENT PRIVILEGES is assumed and the clause must be specified on the REVOKE statement.

INCLUDING DEPENDENT PRIVILEGES

Specifies that revoking a privilege or an authority from an authorization ID or a role also results in revoking dependent privileges. This means that any grants that were made by the user will continue to be revoked, until all grants in the chain have been revoked.

INCLUDING DEPENDENT PRIVILEGES cannot be specified if the system parameter REVOKE_DEP_PRIVILEGES is set to NO, which enforces the behavior to not include the dependent privileges.

NOT INCLUDING DEPENDENT PRIVILEGES

Specifies that revoking a privilege or an authority from an authorization ID or a role does not cause the grants that were made by the user to be revoked. However, for the revoked privileges, all implications of the privilege being revoked are applied. For example, if the revoked privileges were required to bind a package successfully, that package would continue to be invalidated as a result of the package owner losing these privileges. An object might be dropped if a privilege is revoked that was used to create the object.

NOT INCLUDING DEPENDENT PRIVILEGES must be specified when ACCESSCTRL, DATAACCESS, or system DBADM authority is revoked.

NOT INCLUDING DEPENDENT PRIVILEGES cannot be specified if the system parameter REVOKE_DEP_PRIVILEGES is set toYES, which enforces the behavior to include dependent privileges in the revoke.
