COLUMN_PRIVILEGES (Transact-SQL)

Returns one row for each column that has a privilege that is either granted to or granted by the current user in the current database.

To retrieve information from these views, specify the fully qualified name of INFORMATION_SCHEMA.view_name.

Column name	Data type	Description
GRANTOR	nvarchar(128)	Privilege grantor.
GRANTEE	nvarchar(128)	Privilege grantee.
TABLE_CATALOG	nvarchar(128)	Table qualifier.
TABLE_SCHEMA	nvarchar(128)	Name of schema that contains the table. Important: Do not use INFORMATION_SCHEMA views to determine the schema of an object. The only reliable way to find the schema of an object is to query the sys.objects catalog view or use the OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME function.
TABLE_NAME	sysname	Table name.
COLUMN_NAME	sysname	Column name.
PRIVILEGE_TYPE	varchar(10)	Type of privilege.
IS_GRANTABLE	varchar(3)	Specifies whether the grantee can grant permissions to others.
