No, inheritance of permissions only works for GRANT-able permissions; the special role properties like CREATEDB are outside that scope. I think though that if test does "SET ROLE admins" then she'd be able to create a database. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
