# 33.43. `usage_privileges`

The view `usage_privileges` is meant to identify `USAGE` privileges granted on various kinds of objects to a currently enabled role or by a currently enabled role. In PostgreSQL, this currently only applies to domains, and since domains do not have real privileges in PostgreSQL, this view shows implicit `USAGE` privileges granted to `PUBLIC` for all domains. In the future, this view might contain more useful information.
