Hi Dave,

Essentially, the permissions can be based on the menus:

Object Explorer

1. Manage Server Create/Edit/Remove.
2. Create database object (user could still be able to create using query tool)

Definitely not the second one. We shouldn't do anything that is enforced in the database server - it's unlikely the two permissions systems will remain in sync for more than a few minutes, and we shouldn't be duplicating server functionality anyway. 

Yeah. So should I proceed with the implementation?

If that’s what Akshay wants you working on, then sure :-) 

I was waiting for confirmation if the pgAdmin team would accept it or not :)
