Summary

  • _ALLOWED_PRIVS_JSON = 'sql/allowed_privs.json' in views/__init__.py expects the allowed-privileges list under a sql/ subdirectory of each version bucket, matching the default bucket's layout. The PG17+ allowed_privs.json files for views and materialized views (both pg and ppas) were added directly under the 17_plus bucket directory instead, so render_template('views/pg/17_plus/sql/allowed_privs.json') never found them and silently fell through to the default bucket's list via the versioned template loader's fallback - which predates the MAINTAIN privilege and lacks 'm'.
  • Net effect: the MAINTAIN checkbox appears in the Grant Wizard for views/mviews on PG17+/EPAS17+, but ticking it and saving never actually grants MAINTAIN, because _parse_privileges drops any privilege not in allowed_acls.
  • Fix: moved the four affected allowed_privs.json files (views/mviews × pg/ppas) under sql/ to match the default bucket's layout, matching one of the two fixes the issue suggested and requiring no code changes.

Test plan

  • Added web/pgadmin/browser/server_groups/servers/databases/schemas/views/tests/test_allowed_privs_json_path.py, rendering the PG17 template path directly for all four combinations and asserting 'm' is present.
  • Confirmed all four scenarios fail against the pre-fix file layout (falling back to default, missing 'm') and pass with the fix.
  • Ran the full views.tests package - no regressions.
  • pycodestyle clean on the new test file.

Closes #10350

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added PostgreSQL 17+ support for managing privileges on views and materialized views.
    • Added support for the MAINTAIN privilege across PostgreSQL and PPAS view objects.
    • Added support for standard materialized-view privileges, including grants and revocations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected privilege metadata loading for PostgreSQL 17+ view and materialized-view templates.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for PostgreSQL and PPAS privilege definitions, including quoted object names.

allowed_privs.json for the 17_plus bucket lived directly under the
bucket directory instead of under a sql/ subdirectory like every
other bucket (including default), so render_template() looked for
views/pg/17_plus/sql/allowed_privs.json, didn't find it, and silently
fell back to the default bucket's list - which predates MAINTAIN and
lacks 'm'. Moved the four affected files (views/mviews x pg/ppas) to
match the default bucket's layout.

Closes pgadmin-org#10350

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ab01c

The change restores MAINTAIN privilege handling for PostgreSQL and EPAS 17+ views and materialized views by placing the privilege definitions where they are loaded, with targeted and package-level tests passing. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Now that allowed_acls for views/mviews correctly includes MAINTAIN on
PG17+, granting the same non-MAINTAIN privilege set as before no
longer equals the full allowed set, so the generated SQL expands to
the explicit privilege list instead of collapsing to "GRANT ALL" -
this is the correct new behaviour, but it left the two mview msql
fixtures (which fell back to the default bucket, written before
MAINTAIN existed) stale. Added 17_plus overrides with the corrected
expected output, alongside the existing 15_plus/16_plus buckets for
these fixtures.
