Hi.
I think the ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES command affects only tables that are created after the command is executed. Tables created by the writer user before you executed the ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES command would not automatically have select privileges granted to the reader user.  You can try by explicitly granting select privileges on the existing tables to the reader user.

Hi,

I have a postgres instance running on version 15 in centos7.

I have created a custom database and revoked all public privileges from that database.

Then I have created a custom schema in that custom database.

Now I have created one writer user and one reader user by postgres superuser and then granted connect privileges on the database.

Then I have given all privileges of schema level and table level to the writer user so that it can create tables and insert data in the tables in that schema.

And for reader use I have granted usage only privileges on schema level and select privileges on table level so that it can only read the data of tables.

Then I granted default "select" privileges to reader user to read data of all tables created by writer user using below command:

alter default privileges in schema <custom schema> grant select on tables to <reader user>.

but when I am connected to the reader user I am not able to read the data inserted by the writer user and getting permission denied error.

I can only see the list of tables created by the writer user, not the data.

Am I missing something here? Please let me know.

My Goal: To read the data by reader user inserted by writer user.


Regards.
