Per the docs, the default permissions on a function include GRANT EXECUTE TO PUBLIC. Revoking the never-granted-in-the- first-place permission to z doesn't remove the PUBLIC permission. So, if you want to be selective about who can use your functions, you should revoke the PUBLIC permission and then grant out permissions to individual roles. regards, tom lane
