You can set default privileges for a schema: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-alterdefaultprivileges.html If you do that, every object that is created in the schema is automatically assigned those default privileges. So you only need to do do once, after you create a new schema, e.g. as re_migration do: create schema dbo; grant usage on dbo to life_application; alter default privileges in schema dbo grant select,insert,update,delete on tables to live_application; alter default privileges in schema dbo grant usage,select,update on sequences to live_application; Of course the re_migration role needs to have the privileges to create a schema.
