Hi,
is it possible to grant select to views and functions without the need to also grant the user the SELECT privileges to the Tables used in the views or functions?

That way I could create read only users on a website and limit their access to the bare minimum.

 
for view no it isn't possible (view is query text stored in database for future use and nothing more).


This is not how views are stored nor how they work.  The are implemented as rules and thus the following section of the documentation applies.
