With this you give permission to a table
GRANT SELECT ON TABLE table TO user;
2007/10/11, Jessica Richard <rjessil@xxxxxxxxx>:
> I created a test user with the following command:
>
> $ createuser test
> Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n
> Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) n
> Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n
> CREATE ROLE
>
> This user at the moment does not have permission to look at any existing
> tables, but it can create a table:
>
>
> $ psql -Utest -d postgres
> Password for user test:
>
> postgres=> create table test(x int);
> CREATE TABLE

> Two questions:
>
> 1. How do I create a user with ONLY select permission but nothing else (not
> even creating any new tables)?
>
> 2. How do I check to see what permissions a particular user currently has?
>
> I know that \z tablename can show who has what permissions on a table, but
> it does not tell if a user has "create table" permission or not.
