Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Amazon Redshift will no longer support the use of Python UDFs after June 30, 2026. We will start enforcing it in phases. For more information on the details of Python end of life and migration options, see the blog post that was published on June 30, 2025.

SVV_FUNCTION_PRIVILEGES

Use SVV_FUNCTION_PRIVILEGES to view the function permissions that are explicitly granted to users, roles, and groups in the current database.

SVV_FUNCTION_PRIVILEGES is visible to the following users:

  • Superusers

  • Users with the ACCESS SYSTEM TABLE permission

Other users can only see identities they have access to or own.

For more information about best practices when querying system tables and views, see Querying System Tables.

Note

Use the SHOW GRANTS command for permission discovery. SHOW GRANTS works consistently across local, datashare, and external catalog contexts and is updated as new features are released. For more information, see Best practices for discovering metadata.
