If I'm reading this correctly, you have set things up so that any

confidential_read_only", after which it's the privileges of that
role not akanzler that determine what happens.

YES, confidential_read_only has privs on everything *except* individual user's schemas, and rolinherit was accidentally set, that would certainly seem to be the problem. But I turned that off, and it still doesn't work--even in a new connection.


https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/sql-set-role.html

"Using this command, it is possible to either add privileges or restrict one's privileges. If the session user role has the INHERIT attribute, then it automatically has all the privileges of every role that it could SET ROLE to; in this case SET ROLE effectively drops all the privileges assigned directly to the session user and to the other roles it is a member of, leaving only the privileges available to the named role. On the other hand, if the session user role has the NOINHERIT attribute, SET ROLE drops the privileges assigned directly to the session user and instead acquires the privileges available to the named role.
