Well, after further searching and reviewing the code I believe the problem was the NOINHERIT in the login role creation. So the remaining question is: On another question, if I want to grant privileges to all tables I have to do them ONE BY ONE. Granting the privileges on the database or the schema won't recursively grant them on the tables, am I correct? Is the only solution the usage of scripts such as this one: http://pgedit.com/public/sql/acl_admin/index.html http://pgedit.com/public/sql/acl_admin/index.html ? wild_oscar wrote: > > Dear all, > > I'm a bit confused about privilege management in PostgreSQL. > > I have a database "db1" , schema "schema1" and table "table1", created > with a superuser. > > Now, following the documentation (and what I've learnt about user > management), I created a group called admin and a user login, and gave the > login user the admin privileges. > > CREATE ROLE admin NOINHERIT; > CREATE ROLE login LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD > 'md5c2740ac0c81b17602438f3ac849fea08' NOINHERIT; > GRANT admin TO login; > > Now, if I grant: > > GRANT ALL ON TABLE schema1.table1 TO GROUP admin; > > Selecting * from the tabel with user "login" won't work: > > ERROR: permission denied for relation table1 > > If I grant directly to the user: > > GRANT ALL ON TABLE schema1.table1 TO login; > > It WORKS.
