Granting and revoking access

Access control is a key aspect of database management. Not all database users have the same needs and goals, from analysts, clerks, data scientists, to data engineers. As a general rule of thumb, write access should never be the default and only be given when necessary.

In the case of our Pitchfork reviews, we don't want all database users to be able to write into the long_reviews view. Instead, the editor should be the only user able to edit this view.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Revoke all database users' update and insert privileges on the long_reviews view.
  • Grant the editor user update and insert privileges on the long_reviews view.
