Without more detail it is hard to give a specific answer, but it is possible to grant a user the right to grant specific permissions. See: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/sql-grant.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/sql-revoke.html Pay particular attention to "WITH GRANT OPTION" and "WITH ADMIN OPTION", as well as the discussion of the public group. (You will probably need to revoke some of the default rights of the public group.) If you can't get it to work as desired, please post again with more specifics. -Kevin ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
