The `CHECK GRANT` query is used to check whether the current user/role has been granted a specific privilege.

## Syntax

The basic syntax of the query is as follows:

```sql
CHECK GRANT privilege[(column_name [,...])] [,...] ON {db.table[*]|db[*].*|*.*|table[*]|*}
```

- `privilege` — Type of privilege.

## Examples

If the user used to be granted the privilege, the response`check_grant` will be `1`. Otherwise, the response `check_grant` will be `0`.

If `table_1.col1` exists and current user is granted by privilege `SELECT`/`SELECT(con)` or role(with privilege), the response is `1`.
```sql
CHECK GRANT SELECT(col1) ON table_1;
```

```text
┌─result─┐
│      1 │
└────────┘
```
If `table_2.col2` doesn't exists, or current user is not granted by privilege `SELECT`/`SELECT(con)` or role(with privilege), the response is `0`.
```sql
CHECK GRANT SELECT(col2) ON table_2;
```

```text
┌─result─┐
│      0 │
└────────┘
```

## Wildcard
Specifying privileges you can use asterisk (`*`) instead of a table or a database name. Please check [WILDCARD GRANTS](../../sql-reference/statements/grant.md#wildcard-grants) for wildcard rules.
