Hi All, I have a database where I give priviledges solely by user membership in permitted roles (groups). It works flowlessly, but when I tried to assign CREATEUSER priviledge to an administrator ROLE (just one database administrator, not the postmaster), I have to explicitly "SET ROLE ADMIN" before an attempt to "CREATE USER ...". I don't have to do that to access tables/ views/ sequences, the group priviledges work OK just from being a member of relevant group without the necesity to set current_role explicitly. Is this a feature or a bug? Why? My PostgresQL is v8.1.4. And on a similar token: "SELECT current_user" works, while "SELECT current_database" doesn't; yet "SELECT current_user()" doesn't work, while "SELECT current_database()" does. Is this a feature or a bug? -- -R
