The catalog <code class="structname">pg_init_privs</code> records information about
the initial privileges of objects in the system. There is one entry
for each object in the database which has a non-default (non-NULL)
initial set of privileges.
</p><p>
Objects can have initial privileges either by having those privileges set
when the system is initialized (by <span class="application">initdb</span>) or when the
object is created during a <code class="command">CREATE EXTENSION</code> and the
extension script sets initial privileges using the <code class="command">GRANT</code>
system. Note that the system will automatically handle recording of the
privileges during the extension script and that extension authors need
only use the <code class="command">GRANT</code> and <code class="command">REVOKE</code>
statements in their script to have the privileges recorded. The
<code class="literal">privtype</code> column indicates if the initial privilege was
set by <span class="application">initdb</span> or during a
<code class="command">CREATE EXTENSION</code> command.
</p><p>
Objects which have initial privileges set by <span class="application">initdb</span> will
have entries where <code class="literal">privtype</code> is
<code class="literal">'i'</code>, while objects which have initial privileges set
by <code class="command">CREATE EXTENSION</code> will have entries where
<code class="literal">privtype</code> is <code class="literal">'e'</code>.
