MANAGE no longer requires USE CATALOG or USE SCHEMA on the same object

UpdateVerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

The MANAGE privilege no longer requires a usage privilege ( USE CATALOG or USE SCHEMA ) on the object where MANAGE is granted. This change makes MANAGE behave more consistently with object ownership. Previously, MANAGE on a catalog or schema took effect only if you also held the appropriate usage privileges on that object.
