There's no GRANT/REVOKE <perm> ON public.* command format, but there are

You can wrap it in a function and check the system catalogues or use the
has_xxx_privilege() functions, otherwise no.

By default all users can connect to all databases. This is limited by
your pg_hba.conf settings and after that by GRANT CONNECT;
