Description

SECURITY LABEL security-label-name

Revokes the security label security-label-name. The name must be qualified with a security policy (SQLSTATE 42704) and must identify a security label that exists at the current server (SQLSTATE 42704), and that is held by authorization-name (SQLSTATE 42504).

FROM

Specifies from whom the specified security label is revoked.

USER: Specifies that the authorization-name identifies a user.
GROUP: Specifies that the authorization-name identifies a group name.
ROLE: Specifies that the authorization-name identifies a role name. The role name must exist at the current server (SQLSTATE 42704).
authorization-name,...: Lists the authorization IDs of one or more users, groups, or roles.

Rules

For each authorization-name specified, if neither USER, GROUP, nor ROLE is specified, then:
- For all rows for the specified object in the SYSCAT.SECURITYLABELACCESS catalog view where the grantee is authorization-name:
  - If all rows have a GRANTEETYPE of 'U', USER is assumed.
  - If all rows have a GRANTEETYPE of 'G', GROUP is assumed.
  - If all rows have a GRANTEETYPE of 'R', ROLE is assumed.
  - If all rows do not have the same value for GRANTEETYPE, an error is returned (SQLSTATE 56092).

Example

Revoke the security label EMPLOYEESECLABEL, which is part of the security policy DATA_ACCESS, from user WALID.

   REVOKE SECURITY LABEL DATA_ACCESS.EMPLOYEESECLABEL
     FROM USER WALID
