17.23. GRANT ROLES
Synopsis
GRANT role [, ...]
TO ( user | USER user | ROLE role) [, ...]
[ GRANTED BY ( user | USER user | ROLE role | CURRENT_USER | CURRENT_ROLE ) ]
[ WITH ADMIN OPTION ]
[ IN catalog ]
Description
Grants the specified role(s) to the specified principal(s) in catalog
or
in the current catalog if catalog
is not specified.
If the WITH ADMIN OPTION
clause is specified, the role(s) are granted
to the users with GRANT
option.
For the GRANT
statement for roles to succeed, the user executing it either should
be the role admin or should possess the GRANT
option for the given role.
The optional GRANTED BY
clause causes the role(s) to be granted with
the specified principal as a grantor. If the GRANTED BY
clause is not
specified, the roles are granted with the current user as a grantor.

and role qux
with admin option
