Subject RDB$ADMIN and Role Revocation
Author Alan McDonald
I know in the past that the grantor must be the one who revokes that role.

But now we have RDB$ADMIN a user with role RDB$ADMIN can create, edit and
delete users and grant a role to another user.

I would have thought SYSDBA or indeed any other RDB$ADMIN user could revoke
any role.

Firebird 2.5.2 - this is not the case. I get an exception



unsuccessful metadata update SYSDBA is not grantor of Role on MANAGER to
0S0ASDFASDF.



Surely this is not intended?
