Right now, GRANT on a table doesn't do anything about subsidiary
sequences. (There have been discussions about changing that, but
nothing's happened yet.) So if you want someone to be able to INSERT
into a table with a serial column, you need to give them UPDATE rights
on the sequence. Offhand I see no direct reason why they'd need SELECT
rights on the sequence, but maybe they do.
