Summary
Establishes or changes user access privileges to the input enterprise database datasets, stand-alone feature classes, or tables.
Usage
To edit enterprise geodatabase datasets, both of the following are required:
- The View parameter must be set to Grant view privileges (GRANT in Python).
- The Edit parameter must be set to Grant edit privileges (GRANT in Python).
Edit privileges may be revoked, but you can still view the dataset. However, if the View privilege is revoked, the Edit privileges will automatically be revoked as well.
The relational database management system (RDBMS) equivalent command for the View parameter is Select.
The RDBMS equivalent commands for the Edit parameter are Update, Insert, and Delete. All three are granted or revoked simultaneously by the Edit parameter.
The parameter descriptions below use the terms user or user name. Database roles can also be used in place of user names. On RDBMS platforms that support operating system groups, the operating system group can also be specified in place of user names.
