Subject Grants on views
Author PenWin
Hi!

I just can't figure how to set up rights to select from a view on
Firebird 1.5. So far I only accessed data through the owner of the
database (no problem there) or through another user who only had access
to procedures (which I managed to set up fine). But now I need a
view-accessing user and it just won't work.

Tables:
master (id, value)
detail (id, master_id, value)

Views:
CREATE VIEW master_all (id, value, some_detail)
AS SELECT id, value, (SELECT MAX(value) FROM detail WHERE
master_id=m.id) FROM master m;

CREATE VIEW master_some (id, value, some_detail)
AS SELECT id, value, some_detail FROM master_all WHERE value>123;

Grants:
GRANT SELECT ON master_all TO my_user;
GRANT SELECT ON master_some TO my_user;
GRANT SELECT ON master TO VIEW master_all;
GRANT SELECT ON detail TO VIEW master_all;
GRANT SELECT ON master_all TO VIEW master_some

However, whenever I try to SELECT * FROM (either view) I get an error
message "no permission for read/select access to table detail". What
other grant to I need? I definitely do not want to grant my_user access
to the underlying tables.

Thanks,
