ALTER POLICY(7)		 PostgreSQL 17.5 Documentation	       ALTER POLICY(7)

NAME
       ALTER_POLICY - change the definition of a row-level security policy

SYNOPSIS
       ALTER POLICY name ON table_name RENAME TO new_name

       ALTER POLICY name ON table_name
	   [ TO	{ role_name | PUBLIC | CURRENT_ROLE | CURRENT_USER | SESSION_USER } [, ...] ]
	   [ USING ( using_expression )	]
	   [ WITH CHECK	( check_expression ) ]

DESCRIPTION
       ALTER POLICY changes the	definition of an existing row-level security
       policy. Note that ALTER POLICY only allows the set of roles to which
       the policy applies and the USING	and WITH CHECK expressions to be
       modified. To change other properties of a policy, such as the command
       to which	it applies or whether it is permissive or restrictive, the
       policy must be dropped and recreated.

       To use ALTER POLICY, you	must own the table that	the policy applies to.

       In the second form of ALTER POLICY, the role list, using_expression,
       and check_expression are	replaced independently if specified. When one
       of those	clauses	is omitted, the	corresponding part of the policy is
       unchanged.

PARAMETERS
       name
	   The name of an existing policy to alter.

       table_name
	   The name (optionally	schema-qualified) of the table that the	policy
	   is on.

       new_name
	   The new name	for the	policy.

       role_name
	   The role(s) to which	the policy applies. Multiple roles can be
	   specified at	one time. To apply the policy to all roles, use
	   PUBLIC.

       using_expression
	   The USING expression	for the	policy.	See CREATE POLICY
	   (CREATE_POLICY(7)) for details.

       check_expression
	   The WITH CHECK expression for the policy. See CREATE	POLICY
	   (CREATE_POLICY(7)) for details.

COMPATIBILITY
       ALTER POLICY is a PostgreSQL extension.
