Information schema for transitive_applicable_roles

The information_schema.applicable_roles view shows every role in the account and its grantees, who include other users or roles to whom the role is granted.

Unlike, information_schema.applicable_roles that shows only direct grantees, information_schema.transitive_applicable_roles also shows indirect grantees. For example, if role engineer is granted to role manager and role manager is granted to user alice then user alice is a direct grantee of manager and an indirect grantee of engineer.

You can use a SELECT query to return information about each role as shown in the example below.

SELECT
  *
FROM
  information_schema.transitive_applicable_roles;
