What privilege may object owners implicitly have regarding their objects?

Object owners in Teradata often have what is known as implicit privilege regarding their objects. This means that the owners of objects—like tables, views, or databases—automatically possess certain rights to perform operations on those objects without needing to be explicitly granted those rights.

Implicit privilege allows the owner to perform various actions such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE on their objects, providing them with the necessary authority to manage and utilize their created resources effectively. This is a built-in feature of the database management system, ensuring that object owners can operate their objects without the administrative overhead of seeking permissions.

In contrast to implicit privilege, the other types of privileges listed may not inherently be granted to the object owner. Explicit privilege, for example, requires an administrator or another user to specifically grant access rights, while granted privilege typically refers to permissions allocated by a user who has those privileges to others. Inherited privilege refers to permissions passed down from a higher-level object to its child objects, which is also different from the direct, inherent rights of an object owner.

Thus, recognizing implicit privilege helps clarify the natural authority that object owners maintain over their creations in Teradata.
