I'm trying to use the System Tables to fetch some metadata about the whole Vertica cluster at a table level (including permissions).
Where can I find the information about permissions required to SELECT on a table?
I've poked around in the GRANTS
and ROLES
system tables, but I can't find any role->table mapping.
I considered using HAS_TABLE_PRIVILEGE()
but that does it on user level. I'd rather do it at the role level.

The
privileges_description
column shows the privilege types, such as (in your case)SELECT
. (If you only want the SELECTs, you can refine that query.)Source: Viewing Privileges Granted on Objects in the Admin Guide. (That's from the documentation for version 7.1.x.)
