Permissions on tables and views

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have a table and a view on top of it. I want to
make some changes so that a user in a given group would be able to insert/update
only on the view (ofcourse i have a rule which inserts/updates the table) but
not on the underlying table. I tried revoke the insert/update permissions on the
table, but it fails even the inserts/updates on the view. How can i set these
permissions ?
Thanks,
Subhash.

Did you grant insert and update permission on the view?  Does the
underlying table have a sequence?  If so, did you grant update
permission on it?

If you still have trouble, then please post a small, self-contained
example that demonstrates the problem, including the exact text of
any error messages.
