Creating or replacing a trigger does not grant trigger-related privileges to either the creator or the immediate owner of that trigger.

You cannot grant privileges on a trigger, only on the database or table to which the trigger applies.
Goal Privileges User Needs
Create trigger
  • CREATE TRIGGER on both of the following:
    • The database in which the trigger is created
    • Either the subject table or its containing database
  • SELECT on any column referenced in a WHEN clause or a triggered SQL statement subquery
  • INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE on the triggered SQL statement target table (depending on the triggered action).
  • Privileges required to run the individual triggered SQL statements
Replace trigger
  • DROP TRIGGER on the subject table or the database

    The exception is when you use REPLACE TRIGGER when no target trigger exists and you instead create a new trigger, in which case you need CREATE TRIGGER privilege on both of the following:

    • The database in which the trigger is created
    • Either the subject table or its containing database
  • SELECT on any column referenced in a WHEN clause or a triggered SQL statement subquery
  • Depending on the triggered SQL statement, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE on the triggered SQL statement target table
  • Privileges required to run the individual triggered SQL statements
Drop trigger DROP TRIGGER privilege on the subject table or the database containing the table
Run trigger privileges required for executing triggering statements.
In addition, the immediate owner of the trigger must have:
  • CREATE TRIGGER on the subject table or the database containing the table.
  • SELECT on any column referenced in the WHEN clause of the CREATE TRIGGER statement, or any column in a triggered action statement that requires read access for the execution of the statement.
