Hi list,
I have a strange problem in postgres (PostgreSQL 9.3.1, compiled by
Visual C++ build 1600, 64-bit), there are granted privileges on schemas,
tables, columns for roles that don't exist.

So how did the data get into the database?


Example:
In pgAdmin for schema user_data the follwing wrong grants are reported:
...
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA user_data TO "482499";
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA user_data TO "17708";

Where these actual roles at some point in time?

...

Problem is:
- these roles don't exist,
- they can't be dropped (DROP ROLE "482499"; => FEHLER:  Rolle „482499“
existiert nicht)
- grants can't be revoked (REVOKE ALL ON SCHEMA "user_data" FROM
"482499"; => FEHLER:  Rolle „482499“ existiert nicht)
- ROLES can be recreated and dropped afterwards, but the grants persists:
     CREATE ROLE "482499";
     DROP OWNED BY "482499";
     REVOKE CONNECT ON DATABASE "wver_ims" FROM "482499";
     REVOKE ALL ON SCHEMA "user_data" FROM "482499";
     DROP ROLE "482499";
- new tables can't be created in schemas with these grants
     CREATE TABLE user_data.test
     (
        id serial,
        PRIMARY KEY (id)
     );
     => FEHLER:  Rolle 17708 wurde gleichzeitig gelöscht


The roles are not listed in any catalog
     SELECT * FROM information_schema.xxxxxxx WHERE grantee in
('243683','243666','243689','482499','482499','17708');

Only in pg_auth_members there is a set for each of these roles:
     SELECT * FROM pg_catalog.pg_auth_members WHERE member in
('243683','243666','243689','482499','482499','17708');

What does pg_auth_members show for the problem roles?

What can I do to get rid of these roles and grants?
