## 52.55. pg_shseclabel

The catalog pg_shseclabel stores security labels on shared 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_seclabel](catalog-pg-seclabel.md), which performs a similar function for security labels involving objects within a single database. 

Unlike most system catalogs, pg_shseclabel is shared across all databases of a cluster: there is only one copy of pg_shseclabel per cluster, not one per database.
