Обсуждение: privileges
Hello, I asked this question yesterday, but perhaps I did so in an unintelligible way. I didn't get any answer that time. Someone usually answers my questions, so I must not have asked it very well. I have a new database that I'm building for a faculty research project. I created a role called app_admin. I granted the app_admin role to my user name. When I try to describe the table using the "\d" psql command, it tells me there are no relations. When I issue that command logged as postgres instead of my username, all the tables are listed. Since this is a new server, I thought perhaps the database connection wasn't right but I can change to another database that I have privileges to and I can describe the tables in that database just fine. Please help me with this. I have listed the privileges with the "\z" and it shows me that my app_admin roles has all privs to all tables and sequences. I tried to grant the role to my username, thinking that it might not have worked the first time. The system says that that username already has that role, so that's not the problem. Thanks, Carol

The problem is solved. It wasn't until I tried to work with the database in PhpPgAdmin that I got an error message that pointed me to the solution. I had not granted privileges to the schemas. I had never had to grant privs to a schema before and the documentation seemed to indicate that it was only necessary in certain cases. This didn't seem to fit my circumstances. Anyway, thanks for your help.

Could it be the search path (schema) issue? Just a quick thought...
