If he wants to restrict access to certains rows, he could create views on
those tables containing only the desired rows and then grant access in that
view to the correspondent user. Of course, he would have to create a view to
each user, but that would be no worse than manually grant/revoke access to
rows (if that were possible).

I don't understand very well the idea. If you want to restrict user
access per table you can do it using the commands grant/revoke;
however if you want to restrict user access per row; I'm afraid this
is not possible, at least not without triggers or rules.

Manuel.
