Hello All,
We were having past experience in Oracle and are newly getting moved to postgres database. In there we have schema which alternately also called as Users and the super user was sys/system through which the dev team never login but only DBA does. And DBA used to create some functional users to which write access is provided to the table/view when they are created through Grant command. These functional users are used by applications to do the DML etc. Other users are given read only privileges only so as to not do DML but just view the data.
Again these privileges are not given directly to the objects but given through roles for better maintenance and control purposes. We had some users also which were not supposed to see some sensitive attribute, so we created views(by excluding the sensitive column) on top of those and only gave the read-only access to the views but not to the underlying tables.
So I just wanted to understand if these grants and privileges for objects/users are given and maintained in a similar way in postgres database Or any different strategy is needed. And if it's different in RDS Postgres as compared to opensource one? If any document to follow for the same.
