Description

Since: 3.6.0

The new privileges are only grantable on the "universe".

Root document: https://www.tarantool.io/en/doc/latest/admin/access_control/#privileges

  • The grant permission granted to the "universe" allows a user to
    grant all permissions, except "grant" and "metagrant", to an object,
    object class or the "universe" to available users (granting oneself
    is not allowed by the permission though).
  • The metagrant permission granted to the "universe" allows a user
    to grant "grant" and "metagrant" permissions to available users (no
    granting oneself allowed by this permission either).
    Requested by @mkostoevr in https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/commit/1fd4404bf66eff7f7d072e9883a537922d06f125.

Research direction

Open the linked access-control documentation page first and locate its privileges section. Add the documented behavior for the universe-only grant and metagrant privileges, including their scope and restriction on granting them to oneself. Done means the page clearly covers both privileges and matches the issue’s stated semantics.
