Thread: Grants

Hi list,

I am having problem with grants and users on PostgreSQL.

I am using pgAdmin to connect like other user to test my permissions.

As the owner of the database I have criated two roles:

administrators (cannot connect)
ezequias (can connect)

I give permissions to a table I have:
GRANT SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT ON TABLE base.table1 TO administrators;


My user:
CREATE ROLE ezequias LOGIN
  NOSUPERUSER NOINHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE;
GRANT administradores TO ezequias;

My group
CREATE ROLE administradores
  NOSUPERUSER NOINHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE;

When I try to access the table base.table1 with ezequias login the
pgAdmin reports:
(see attached image)

Could someone tell me what I did wrong ?
Ezequias

You did not grant access privileges to schema.
Also GRANT administrators on the base schema as you did for the table.

####Schema grants####

CREATE SCHEMA base AUTHORIZATION root;
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA base TO root;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA base TO administrators;

####Table grants####
GRANT ALL ON TABLE base."local" TO root;
GRANT SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT ON TABLE base."local" TO administrators;

Still the same problem. :(

Two things I see. 
The first may only be a translation artifact. You have CREATE ROLE 
administradores and then GRANT to administrators on the table.
Second in the CREATE ROLE  ezequias you have NOINHERIT. This means  ezequias  
does not automatically assume the privileges of the ROLES it belongs to. To 
acquire the privileges you have to do a SET ROLE administrators at the 
connection.
