Обсуждение: Can't assign Group role permissions in 1.8.4
I just upgraded to 1.8.4 (I think I was running 1.8.2) and have an even older version running on the server (1.6.2). Today I went to a view to give permissions to some Group Roles. The only option I get now is public. I am running PostgreSQL 8.2. Before I would see all the groups in the Priviledges tab of a view/table. I checked my old install and I can still give priviledges to any of my group roles. Also is there a reason why we never allow login roles in there when you can do it with standard alter table commands. I tend to think its bad practice to do that anyway but on occasion for fairly small databases with very few users, I have had the need and didn't want to bother creating a group role to house these distinct users.

If the group roles allow login, then as far as pgAdmin is concerned they're actually login roles and will hide them by default. Other than that, there's no obvious reason that you won't be able to see the groups that I can think of. > Also is there a reason why we never allow login roles in there when you > can do it with standard alter table commands.

We don't 'never allow login roles in there', we hide them by default to encourage good practice (as you recognise :-) ). To show the users, select the 'Show users for Privileges' option in the options dialog. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

The groups I am complaining about not seeing do not have login rights. They are simply group roles and in prior versions of PgAdmin III I could grant rights to these.

Hmm, looks like I might have broken that :-(. Will fix. Switching on Users for Privileges will resolve the problem as well, fwiw. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
