In my previous message I forgot to add the following.
The set commands and grants are not linked. Setting something does not
necessarily confer privileges for that object. The search_path for instance. It
really only sets up the search order for unqualified object names. What you can
see or do with those objects is determined by the privileges on those objects.
Those privileges come from either the role that created the object or are
GRANT(ed) by a sufficiently privileged role to another role.
