Thanks. Declaring row as a record did the trick. I have a lot of tables
and I am looking to more deeply understand the PostgreSQL security module.

First you forgot to declare 'row'. Could be type record.
Second REVOKE and GRANT are utility statements not supported for prepared SPI plans and thus PL/pgSQL
currently cannot execute them.
