Revoking the database security administrator role

A DBSA uses the REVOKE DBSECADM statement to take away database security administrator authority from a user who previously was granted this role.

You must be a DBSA to revoke the DBSECADM role. You must know the login name from whom you want to revoke the DBSECADM role.
