Topic link icon Transact-SQL Syntax Conventions


REVOKE [ GRANT OPTION FOR ] permission  [ ,...n ] 
    ON SCHEMA :: schema_name 
    { TO | FROM } database_principal [ ,...n ]
    [ CASCADE ]
    [ AS revoking_principal ]

Arguments

permission

Specifies a permission that can be revoked on a schema. The permissions that can be revoked on a schema are listed in the "Remarks" section, later in this topic.

GRANT OPTION FOR

Indicates that the right to grant the specified right to other principals will be revoked. The permission itself will not be revoked.

Important
If the principal has the specified permission without the GRANT option, the permission itself will be revoked.

ON SCHEMA :: schema_name

Specifies the schema on which the permission is being revoked. The scope qualifier :: is required.

database_principal

Specifies the principal from which the permission is being revoked. One of the following:

database user
database role
application role
database user mapped to a Windows login
database user mapped to a Windows group
database user mapped to a certificate
database user mapped to an asymmetric key
database user not mapped to a server principal.

CASCADE

Indicates that the permission being revoked is also revoked from other principals to which it has been granted by this principal.

Caution
Indicates that the permission being revoked is also revoked from other principals to which it has been granted or denied by this principal.

AS revoking_principal

Specifies a principal from which the principal executing this query derives its right to revoke the permission. One of the following:

database user
database role
application role
database user mapped to a Windows login
database user mapped to a Windows group
database user mapped to a certificate
database user mapped to an asymmetric key
database user not mapped to a server principal.

Remarks

A schema is a database-level securable contained by the database that is its parent in the permissions hierarchy. The most specific and limited permissions that can be revoked on a schema are listed in the following table, together with the more general permissions that include them by implication.

Schema permission	Implied by schema permission	Implied by database permission
CONTROL	CONTROL	CONTROL
TAKE OWNERSHIP	CONTROL	CONTROL
ALTER	CONTROL	ALTER ANY SCHEMA
EXECUTE	CONTROL	EXECUTE
INSERT	CONTROL	INSERT
DELETE	CONTROL	DELETE
UPDATE	CONTROL	UPDATE
SELECT	CONTROL	SELECT
REFERENCES	CONTROL	REFERENCES
VIEW CHANGE TRACKING	CONTROL	CONTROL
VIEW DEFINITION	CONTROL	VIEW DEFINITION

Permissions

Requires CONTROL permission on the schema.
