Operation Scenario
- By setting permissions, you can assign varying table permissions to different users.
- The administrator and table owner have all permissions, which cannot be set or modified by other users.
- When setting table permissions for a new user, ensure that the user group the user belongs to has the Tenant Guest permission.
Precautions
- If you create a table with the same name as a deleted table, the table permissions will not be inherited. In this case, you need to grant the table permissions to users or projects.
For example, user A is granted with the permission to delete the testTable table. Delete the table and create another one with the same name. You need to grant user A the deletion permission of the testTable table again.
Viewing Table Permissions
- On the left of the management console, choose Data Management > Databases and Tables.
- Click the database name in the table whose authority is to be set. The Table Management page of the database is displayed.
- Locate the row where the target table resides and click Manage Permissions in the Operation column.
Permissions can be granted to new users or projects, modified for users or projects with existing permissions, or revoked from a user or project.
Granting Permissions to a New User or a Project
- Click the table you need. In the displayed table permissions page, click Grant Permission in the upper right corner.
