ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES
Function
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES allows you to set the permissions that will be applied to objects created in the future. (It does not affect permissions granted to existing objects.)
Precautions
Currently, you can change only the permissions for tables (including views), sequences, functions, types, CMKs of encrypted databases, and CEKs.
