First create a group role:
\c postgresql
CREATE ROLE db_datareader LOGIN INHERIT PASSWORD "random_horse";
GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE somedb TO db_datareader;
\c somedb
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA public TO db_datareader;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO db_datareader;
GRANT EXECUTE ON ALL FUNCTIONS IN SCHEMA public TO db_datareader;
GRANT EXECUTE ON ALL PROCEDURES IN SCHEMA public TO db_datareader;
GRANT EXECUTE ON ALL ROUTINES IN SCHEMA public TO db_datareader;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTIONS TO
db_datareader;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT EXECUTE ON ROUTINES TO
db_datareader;
Then create a bunch of users in that role:
CREATE ROLE fred IN ROLE db_datareader LOGIN INHERIT PASSWORD 'blahblah'
VALID UNTIL 'xyz';
CREATE ROLE wilma IN ROLE db_datareader LOGIN INHERIT PASSWORD 'snarf' VALID
UNTIL 'xyz';
CREATE ROLE barney IN ROLE db_datareader LOGIN INHERIT PASSWORD 'foobar'
VALID UNTIL 'xyz'
CREATE ROLE betty IN ROLE db_datareader LOGIN INHERIT PASSWORD 'blarg' VALID
UNTIL 'xyz';
