But just select, no more. Use the command ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-alterdefaultprivileges.html At the risk to confuse you, I'll mention that there is no ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES for schema objects. So it could still be that your user cannot access a table if it is in a schema on which she has no USAGE privilege.
