31.38. usage_privileges

## 31.38. `usage_privileges`

The view `usage_privileges` is meant to identify `USAGE` privileges granted on various kinds of objects to the current user or by the current user. In PostgreSQL, this currently only applies to domains, and since domains do not have real privileges in PostgreSQL, this view shows implicit `USAGE` privileges granted to `PUBLIC` for all domains. In the future, this view may contain more useful information.
