I am trying to query a database table in postgresql, but every time I run the below query it gives me the INSUFFICIENT PRIVILEGE error. What possibly could be the reason for such permission denied error. Also, I am using pgadmin tool in windows to connect the database which is in Linux environment. Below is the query I am running

While running the same query I am getting the below Error

The user running the query will need permissions to that table. You can grant them to that user with the GRANT statement. The below is an example that grants to PUBLIC
GRANT SELECT ON tablename TO PUBLIC;
Also I have seen SELinux cause isses and places such as here mention it. I am not exactly sure of the command to turn SELinux off but you can see if it is running by using
selinuxenabled && echo enabled || echo disabled

It simply means that you have no permission to access app table. Request your root or database administrator to grant you the permission to access app table. if your are the root or have granting privilege you can use grant command to grant your self permission to use all sql statements on table or database
For Example:
grant all privileges on database money to cashier;
before that you have to login as root or user that have granting privileges
for more details on this command refer to
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/sql-grant.html

If it’s DB2 then go to command console of DB2, select your respective Database and select Authorities option by right click on the Database then add your respective DB2 user and grant required access.

You need to make sure that the user with which you are connecting with also has the «USAGE» access on the schema you are trying to access with the user. I have recently faced an error where I got the dump restored into a database and then had some users to whom I was only supposed to provide the read-only access. I have followed the following steps —
CREATE ROLE myapp_readonly;
GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE {database} TO myapp_readonly;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA {schema} TO myapp_readonly;
GRANT SELECT ON TABLE {schema}.{table_name} TO myapp_readonly;
GRANT myapp_readonly TO {usre};
After performing these steps when I tried to access the table, had received the following error —
SQL Error [42501]: ERROR: permission denied for schema {schema}
In my case, my users were available already and the schemas and the database were restored recently. After I have provided the «USAGE» access to the schema to the user the error was resolved.

I am very new to postgres so please my apologies in advance if I sound naive. I am still trying to learn. I am trying to create a readonly role and then create a role and assign readonly role to the user. I logged in as postgres user
CREATE ROLE readonly;
GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE test_db TO readonly;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA public TO readonly;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO readonly;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO readonly;
CREATE USER readonlyuser WITH PASSWORD 'read123';
grant readonly to readonlyuser;
Now I can login as user readonlyuser but I can’t read data from any tables. I get error SQL Error [42501]: ERROR: permission denied for table.
Any help would be appreciated.

The ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES
statement you ran will only affect tables created by postgres
. If a different user creator
creates the tables, you need
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR ROLE creator IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO readonly;

For me, the problem was that I was using the free tier of ElephantSql.com
(a great website BTW), and I used (way) more than the allocated 20 MB free quota.
I was able to make a select query, but an insert one failed with the error permission denied for table
.

Login : sudo -u postgres psql
Select db : \c yourDbName
View all table \dt;
grant youUserName to postgres;
(permission related error then use this command)
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO {serverName};

A last-minute website error is always frustrating.
PostgreSQL database queries often end up in errors with code 42501.
This PostgreSQL error 42501 usually occurs when an underprivileged user queries a database. This can be tricky to troubleshoot.
That’s why we often get requests to fix PostgreSQL errors as a part of our Server Management Services.
Today, let’s have a look into the error 42501 and see how our Support Engineers fix it for our customers.
When does PostgreSQL error 42501 occur?
Before moving on to the error 42501, let’s first see more about PostgreSQL.
PostgreSQL is one of the versatile database management systems. It comes handy for developers to build applications, server administrators to protect data and so on. In other words, PostgreSQL is a highly extensible database system.
The error code 42501 denotes insufficient privilege for the database user. But, there can be many reasons that lead to this error.
1. Insufficient privilege for the user
Usually, the 42501 error occurs when a PostgreSQL user with insufficient privileges makes a query on a database.
This indicates that the database user executed an operation, for which the user has no rights.
For database management, the user needs enough rights over the database.
When one of our customers was trying to query a database table in a PostgreSQL tool like pgAdmin, it ended up in error 42501.
The error message was
By default, in the PostgreSQL database, the user restoring the database will have the database ownership. For instance, when restoring a database as the root user, all objects will be under root ownership. And if another user is running any query on this database, it shows the 42501 error.
2. SELinux setting
Sometimes, the SELinux setting in the server can also cause an insufficient privilege error.
SELinux is a security architecture that is a part of Linux kernel. In SELinux, access and transition rights of a user, application, process, and file are all defined. Thus, if SELinux is enabled it affects the user privileges then the database query can end up in a 42501 error.
Fix for 42501 permission denied error
When our customers approach us with this error, our Support Team first checks the reasons that cause this error. The major reasons are insufficient user privilege and SELinux settings.
Now, let’s see how our Support Team fixes this error.
1.Granting Privilege to a user
First and foremost, when a customer approaches us with a 42501 error, we check the database user privileges already given.
If the user lacks enough permission, then we change it accordingly.
Mostly, the user does not have privileges over the requested tables.
In this case, we give privileges to the user over the requested tables using the command.
GRANT SELECT ON table_name TO PUBLIC;
This command gives all privileges over the table to the public, hence anyone can use it.
But, some customers prefer giving privileges only to a few users.
In this case, to give table access only to certain users, we use the command.
GRANT SELECT ON table_name TO user_name;
After giving privileges to the user, our Support Team executes the query once again. This ensures that the error is fixed.
Similarly, if the root user restored the dump file, this can cause insufficient privilege for the database user.
That is, if the root user restores the database using pg_dump --no-owner
then the root user who restored the database will have all privileges.
So, we always restore the database using the login of the desired user. Then, this user will have all privileges over the database.
2. Disabling SELinux
In some cases, the user has enough privilege over the database and still the database query show 42501 error. Here, the SELinux can be the reason causing the error.
After considering other security settings, our Support Team disables this feature using the command.
selinuxenabled && echo enabled || echo disabled
[Still having trouble in fixing PostgreSQL errors? – We will fix it for you.]
Conclusion
In short, the PostgreSQL error 42501 occurs mainly due to insufficient privileges for database user for running query. We saw how our Support Engineers fixed this error for our customers.

The first comment nailed the most likely reason this is happening. Quoting the release announcement:
PostgreSQL 15 also revokes the
CREATE
permission from all users except a database owner from thepublic
(or default) schema.
The reason your fix didn’t work is that all actions you took on database postgres
in regards to user admin
‘s privileges on schema public
concern only that schema within the database postgres
. Schema public
on database postgres
is not the same schema public
as the one on newly created mydb
.
Also, this:
GRANT ALL ON DATABASE mydb TO admin;
grants privileges on the database itself, not things within the database. admin
can now drop the database, for example, still without being able to create tables in schema public
. My guess is that you wanted to make admin
also the owner of mydb
, in which case you need to add
ALTER DATABASE mydb OWNER TO admin;
Or you need to repeat your GRANT USAGE, CREATE ON SCHEMA public TO admin;
on mydb
.
Here’s some more documentation on secure schema usage patterns the PostgreSQL 15 change was based on.
I kept getting this error when using flyway
to deploy database changes. I do some manual setup first, such as creating the database, so flyway wouldn’t need those super-admin permissions.
My Fix
I had to ensure that the database user that flyway job used had ownership rights to the public schema, so that the flyway user could then assign the right to use the schema to other roles.
Additional setup Details
I am using AWS RDS (both regular and Aurora), and they don’t allow super users in the databases. RDS reserves super users for use by AWS, only, so that consumers are unable to break the replication stuff that is built in. However, there’s a catch-22 that you must be an owner in postgres to be able to modify it.
My solution was to create a role that acts as the owner (‘owner role’), and then assign both my admin user and the flyway user to the owner role, and use ALTER
scripts for each object to assign the object’s owner to the owner role.
I missed the public schema, since that was auto-created when I created the database script manually. The public schema defaulted to my admin role rather than the shared owner role. So when the flyway user tried to assign public schema permissions to other roles, it didn’t have the authority to do that. An error was not thrown during flyway execution, however.

In Postgres I created the following table inside a db called testing
:
CREATE TABLE category_google_taxonomy (
category_id integer references category ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE,
google_taxonomy_id integer references google_taxonomy ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE
);
When I try to populate the table:
INSERT INTO category_google_taxonomy (category_id, google_taxonomy_id) VALUES
(1,7),
(2,12);
I get the following error:
ERROR: permission denied for schema public
LINE 1: SELECT 1 FROM ONLY "public"."category" x WHERE "category_id"...
^
QUERY: SELECT 1 FROM ONLY "public"."category" x WHERE "category_id" OPERATOR(pg_catalog.=) $1 FOR SHARE OF x
I read up a bit and eventually granted ALL PRIVILEGES
out of exasperation, but it still doesn’t work:
testing=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON public.category TO testing;
GRANT
testing=# dp category_google_taxonomy
Access privileges
Schema | Name | Type | Access privileges | Column access privileges
--------+--------------------------+-------+-------------------------+--------------------------
public | category_google_taxonomy | table | testing=arwdDxt/testing |
: super=arwdDxt/testing
testing=# dp category
Access privileges
Schema | Name | Type | Access privileges | Column access privileges
--------+----------+-------+------------------------+--------------------------
public | category | table | testing=arwdDxt/super | category_id:
: testing=arwx/super
(1 row)
On @Daniel’s suggestion I tried GRANT USAGE ON schema public TO super;
, now when I run the INSERT
command I get:
ERROR: permission denied for relation category
CONTEXT: SQL statement "SELECT 1 FROM ONLY "public"."category" x WHERE "category_id" OPERATOR(pg_catalog.=) $1 FOR SHARE OF x"
Here is the relevant part of d
:
public | category | table | super
public | category_google_taxonomy | table | testing
Я запускаю Postgres 10.4 и в настоящее время сбит с толку, поскольку не могу предоставить доступ к схеме другой роли.
Что я хочу сделать:
У меня одна роль с одной схемой, и я хочу получить доступ к схеме и ее таблицам из другой роли. Итак, я сделал как обычно (что работало с другими схемами):
grant usage on schema myschema to newuser;
grant select on all tables in schema myschema to newuser;
Оба этих оператора выполнялись как владелец схемы. При этом я не столкнулся с какими-либо ошибками.
Когда я вхожу в систему как новый пользователь и пытаюсь выбрать некоторые данные:
select * from myschema.table;
Я получаю сообщение об ошибке:
SQL Error [42501]: ERROR: permission denied for schema myschema
Я вижу, что у нового пользователя есть нужные привилегии в таблице «information_schema.role_table_grants»
Он также работал с другой ролью и другой схемой. Я невежественен.
Ответы

Это определенно работает, как указано в моем вопросе, проблема заключалась в том, что я не использовал владельца схемы.
Поэтому всегда убедитесь, что вы предоставляете доступ к схеме от роли владельца.
Шаг 1
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA name_schema TO name_user;
Шаг 2
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA name_schema TO name_user;

Добрый день!
Затем подключаюсь к базе my_db под пользователем user1: c my_db user1 До сих пор все шло прекрасно. Но дальше пытаюсь сделать select от имени пользователя user1:
выходит ошибка — нет доступа к схеме my_schema пытаюсь по другому:
Ошибка — нет доступа к таблице my_table! Что я делаю не так?!

Сообщение было отмечено NataNov как решение Решение Схема — такой же объект базы, как и таблицы.
1 |
Допустим, я сделал эту «простую» реализацию БД в Postgres.
postgres=# CREATE ROLE my_role;
CREATE DATABASE my_db;
GRANT ALL ON DATABASE my_db TO my_role;
CREATE SCHEMA my_schm AUTHORIZATION my_role;
А потом я хочу сделать таблицу:
postgres=#CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXIST my_db.my_schm.table(...);
И получил следующую ошибку: cross-database references are not implemented: "my_db.my_schm.table"
После этого я попытался создать таблицу, подключенную к базе данных (т.е. c my_db
), и получил следующую ошибку:
schema "my_schm"does not exist
Итак, я не понимаю поведения этих ошибок. Предполагается, что роль имеет все разрешения для базы данных (и да, я также пробовал использовать SET ROLE my_role;
), но когда я прошу показать схемы в my_db действительно my_schm не существует, но в Postgres он есть. Может кто-нибудь объяснить мне, пожалуйста, почему это происходит? А также как сгруппировать таблицы в my_schm?
1 ответ
Лучший ответ
Схемы существуют только в одной базе данных и создаются в текущей базе данных: вы создали свою схему в базе данных postgres
, а не в mydb
.
Вам необходимо сначала подключиться к базе данных mydb
, чтобы создать схему в базе данных mydb
.
