I found the proper way to deal with this situation.  No response is necessary.

Subject: How do I identify the privileges a role has?

 

PostgeSQL: 8.2.4

 

I have a database XYZ that has a user, USER1.  The database XYZ has many schemas.  I have 12 different web applications that connect to the database XYZ.  My hope was to create a different “role” for each application.

 

I used the command “createuser” to create USER2.  When I went to use USER2 it only has read access on the database XYZ.  The user USER2 also cannot connect to the database from a software application.

 

Is there an SQL command I can use that will tell me all of the privileges allowed for USER1 so that I can then assign those same privileges to USER2?

 

 

Thanks,
