Thread: revoke create table from a user

I am trying to revoke the create table privilege from a user in a database. 

I have revoked create on database and on the public schema, yet I can still create table as that user.  what else do I need to do?

thanks,

Is that user a superuser? If you gave that user the ability to create
new users then they are a superuser and access controls don't apply
to them.

no, not on the database.  I specified NOCREATEDATABASE and NOCREATEUSER when creating the user.  and...the user does not belong to any groups.  the user in question is bolded.


 usename  | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd |               passwd                | valuntil | useconfig
