Hello all. I am more accustomed in doing things the Oracle way and I am
trying to get a hold postgres :)
Below are my roles/users and their attributes. Posgresql version: 9.2
Role name | Attributes
| Member of
---------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+----------------
devs | Create DB, Cannot login
| {}
batman |
| {devs}
postgres | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication |
{}
As you can see:
role: DEVS is configured to be able to create a database.
user: batman is member of DEVS
However, when I login as batman and I issue the command "CREATE DATABASE
metropolis;" I get a Permission denied. Even when I give DEVS a "superuser"
attribute, user batman still cannot create a database. Do I have to elevate
user batman to a superuser? Isn't that dangerous when it comes to security?
Thank you :)
