Prerequisites

SAP Sybase IQ 16.0	Not supported.

The SAP Sybase IQ resource is authenticated and running.

The selected resource supports authority-based security.
You are logged on as the original grantor of the permission with administrative rights to be removed.

Task

The REVOKE command applies to the database object permission itself, not to any administrative right granted on the permission. Therefore, to remove the administrative right only and leave the database object permission intact, do not use the Revoke button. Rather, regrant the specific permission without administrative rights. Only the original grantor can remove the administrative rights only from a granted permission. If another grantor regrants the same permission without administrative rights, a new permission without administrative rights is granted, but the original permission with administrative rights remains and takes precedence over any other non-administrative grants of the same permission to the same user or group.

In the Perspective Resources view, select the resource, and select Resource > Administration Console.
In the left pane, expand IQ Servers > Security > Authority-Based, and then select Users or Groups.
Select a user or group from the right pane and either:
- Click the arrow to the right of the name and select Properties, or
- From the Administration Console menu bar, select Resource > Properties.
In the left pane, click Permissions.
In the right pane, click Grant.
On the Welcome page, based on the table level of the permission to be regranted, select Tables or Table columns. Click Next.
On the Permissions page, select the permissions from which the administrative rights are being revoked.
Click Finish to close the permissions wizard.
