## 52.51. pg_seclabel

The catalog pg_seclabel stores security labels on database objects. Security labels can be manipulated with the [`SECURITY LABEL`](sql-security-label.md) command. For an easier way to view security labels, see [Section 53.25](view-pg-seclabels.md). 

See also [pg_shseclabel](catalog-pg-shseclabel.md), which performs a similar function for security labels of database objects that are shared across a database cluster.
