I have noted that  "GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA public TO public" is granted
on postgres.schemas.public.  I am looking at this in pgadmin so excuse
my nomenclature.


Is this what is allowing write access to the database?

Yes, though that should not be the default. See here:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/sql-grant.html

PostgreSQL grants default privileges on some types of objects to PUBLIC. No privileges are granted to PUBLIC by default on tables, columns, schemas or tablespaces. For other types, the default privileges granted to PUBLIC are as follows: CONNECT and CREATE TEMP TABLE for databases; EXECUTE privilege for functions; and USAGE privilege for languages. The object owner can, of course, REVOKE both default and expressly granted privileges. (For maximum security, issue the REVOKE in the same transaction that creates the object; then there is no window in which another user can use the object.) Also, these initial default privilege settings can be changed using the ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES command.

So how exactly was Postgres installed and where there any scripts run after the install?

Your problem is probably the "INHERIT" and
GRANT dbA TO bob;
GRANT dbA_ro TO bob;
GRANT dbB TO bob;
GRANT dbB_ro TO bob;

options. If any of the dbA's have the permission to CREATE tables (and I
suspect they do), so will bob.

    Josh,

    Via psql:
    CREATE ROLE bob LOGIN
       NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
    GRANT dbA TO bob;
    GRANT dbA_ro TO bob;
    GRANT dbB TO bob;
    GRANT dbB_ro TO bob;

    dbA, dbA_ro, dbB, and dbB_ro are roles.

    I have not created any database yet or assigned permissions to the
    roles.

    How exactly did you add the users?
