Permissions to execute user-defined functions

A user-defined function is owned by the user who created it, and that user can execute it without permission. The owner of a user-defined function can grant permissions to other users with the GRANT EXECUTE command.

For example, the creator of the function fullname allows another_user to use fullname with the statement:

GRANT EXECUTE ON fullname TO another_user

The following statement revokes permission to use the function:

REVOKE EXECUTE ON fullname FROM another_user
