You need to grant access to the sequence.

test=# \d foo                              Table "foo"Attribute |    Type     |                     Modifier
-----------+-------------+---------------------------------------------------key       | integer     | not null default
nextval('foo_key_seq'::text)name     | varchar(40) | not null
 

test=# GRANT ALL ON foo_key_seq TO nobody;
CHANGE
