Use the contrib module 'array':
[cd $SOURCE/contrib/arraymakemake install]
Then, to find what groups 'young' is in, one can do: select g.groname from pg_group g, pg_shadow s where
s.usename='young'and g.grolist *= s.usesysid;
or
select g.grolist *= s.usesysid from pg_group g, pg_shadow s where s.usename='young' and g.groname='originator';
just to see wether or not 'young' is in group 'originator'.

That's more complicated, but still accessible. You have to get pg_class.relacl from pg_class where
relname='yourtable';
and then parse the acl (access control list) and join with pg_group info...
Hmm, I haven't tried it -- looks messy...
Good luck,George
