I created a test user with the following command:
$ createuser test
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n
Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) n
Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n
CREATE ROLE
This user at the moment does not have permission to look at any existing tables, but it can create a table:
$ psql -Utest -d postgres
Password for user test:
postgres=> create table test(x int);
CREATE TABLE
Two questions:
1. How do I create a user with ONLY select permission but nothing else (not even creating any new tables)?
2. How do I check to see what permissions a particular user currently has?
I know that \z tablename can show who has what permissions on a table, but it does not tell if a user has "create table" permission or not.
Thanks,
Jessica
