OK, got it:

   There are several different privileges: <literal>SELECT</literal>
   (read), <literal>INSERT</literal> (append), <literal>UPDATE</literal>
   (write), <literal>DELETE</literal>, <literal>RULE</literal>,
   <literal>REFERENCES</literal> (foreign key), and
   <literal>TRIGGER</literal>. (See the <command>GRANT</command> manual
   page for more detailed information.) The right to modify or destroy
