I'm haveing a very hard time with these views, rules, and I don't know if
it's a programing problem, or it's that I don't understand the docs. I have
this:

The rules are OK as for what I see, but the other user insert even though the
user mariana has ALL permissions on the views (all the views) through her
group (webunl_admin)


webunl=> select * from pg_group;

What's wrong with this? As you can see, mariana belongs to the webunl_admin
group, and I (martin) have granted ALL permissions to that group.
Any ideas?

Saludos... :-)
