Improve and extend the base implementation of Role-based access control (RBAC):
- Breaking change. Replace role attributes with system privileges, which are inheritable and applied system-wide. This change improves the usability of RBAC by consolidating the semantics controlling role privileges, making it less cumbersome for admin users to grant(or revoke) privileges to manipulate top level objects to multiple users.
- Breaking change. Remove the create_role, create_db, and create_cluster from the mz_roles system catalog table.
It’s important to note that role-based access control (RBAC) is disabled by default. You must contact us to enable this feature in your Materialize region.

Make error messages using object names more consistent. In particular, error messages now consistently use the fully qualified object name (database_name.schema_name.item_name).
Breaking change. Disallow SHOW commands in the creation of views and materialized views (#20257). This change should have no user impact, but please let us know if you run into any issues.
