Обсуждение: [GENERAL] Unable to upload backups
Hi,
I'm using PostgreSQL 9.3.2
I'm running the command:
psql -h testserver -U ronb -f backup.sql -q -d foldertest 2>error.txt >output.txt
This should generate my database in foldertest
However this doesn't work. It's unable to create schemas
in the error.txt i see "permission denied for database foldertest".
I know this is not an access permission issue because there is a public schema which is buildin and it does create the tables/data in there.
It just cant create new schemas.
The intresting thing is that if I do:
psql -h testserver -U postgres -f backup.sql -q -d foldertest 2>error.txt >output.txt
Everything works. It create all schemas and generate the database correctly.
I don't see any diffrent in the hba.conf between postgres and ronb users.
What can be the problem?
Hi,
Seems to me your role "ronb" doesn't have the rights to create schema on your database.
Please refer to the GRANT command in the documentation.

That is not the issue. pg_hba determines who can connect, what you are seeing is the Postgres privilege system determining what a user can do once they are connected. If it had been a pg_hba rejection you would have seen something like: aklaver@tito:~> psql -d production -U guest -h localhost psql: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "::1", user "guest", database "production", SSL on FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "::1", user "guest", database "production", SSL off To get an overview of what users there are in your database cluster in psql do \du > > What can be the problem? > -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@aklaver.com
I think I may have found the problem.
The role defined as:
CREATE ROLE "ronb" LOGIN
NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
GRANT users TO "ronb";
NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
GRANT users TO "ronb";
GRANT users2 TO "ronb";
users is a group role:
CREATE ROLE users
SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEDB CREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEDB CREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
users2 is a group role:
CREATE ROLE users2
NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
GRANT reports TO users2 ;
I think PostgreSQL doesn't know how to handle this conflicted commands.
What PostgreSQL does when such conflic appears? does it take the last known command of grant?
Sadly, when there are more than one role it's impossible to know which role was first. PostgreSQL shows them alphabeticly rather than by date so in case of overlaping instructions its impossible to know which one was first.

What user is the foldertest owner?
In psql l will tell you this.

Because the public schema is by default open to all:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/ddl-schemas.html
"A user can also be allowed to create objects in someone else's schema.
To allow that, the CREATE privilege on the schema needs to be granted.
Note that by default, everyone has CREATE and USAGE privileges on the
schema public. This allows all users that are able to connect to a given
database to create objects in its public schema. ... "

In psql do dn+, that will show schema owners and who else has privileges.
For what the different privileges are and how they are represented in
the above output see:

Because the postgres user is a superuser and can do anything.

That is not the issue. pg_hba determines who can connect, what you are
seeing is the Postgres privilege system determining what a user can do
once they are connected. If it had been a pg_hba rejection you would
have seen something like:
aklaver@tito:~> psql -d production -U guest -h localhost
psql: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "::1", user "guest",
database "production", SSL on
FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "::1", user "guest", database
"production", SSL off

I think I may have found the problem.
The role defined as:
CREATE ROLE "ronb" LOGIN
NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
GRANT users TO "ronb";
NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
GRANT users TO "ronb";
GRANT users2 TO "ronb";
users is a group role:
CREATE ROLE users
SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEDB CREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEDB CREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
users2 is a group role:
CREATE ROLE users2
NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
GRANT reports TO users2 ;
I think PostgreSQL doesn't know how to handle this conflicted commands.

That may or may not be the problem. See:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/sql-createrole.html
"The INHERIT attribute governs inheritance of grantable privileges (that
is, access privileges for database objects and role memberships). It
does not apply to the special role attributes set by CREATE ROLE and
ALTER ROLE. For example, being a member of a role with CREATEDB
privilege does not immediately grant the ability to create databases,
even if INHERIT is set; it would be necessary to become that role via
SET ROLE before creating a database."
What you show above is part of the answer. The other parts are the
actual privileges on the objects. Also the command that created the dump
file that you are trying to restore. Permissions/privileges issues can
be complex and solving them requires a complete set of information.

OK. I think I found a bug in PostgreSQL (9.3).
When I do:
CREATE ROLE ronb
SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEDB CREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEDB CREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
Everything works. I can create the schemas and upload the backup correclty.
But if I do:
CREATE ROLE "ronb" LOGIN
NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
GRANT users TO "ronb";
NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
GRANT users TO "ronb";
CREATE ROLE users
SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEDB CREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEDB CREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
It doesn't work. ronb user still can't create schemas eventhogh the role users give ronb permission to do so.
The GRANT here is worthless.
Also, PostgreSQL doesn't show the GRANTS of role in the same order as they were given (In PgAdmin). It sort them alphabeticly which is highly confusing!
If for example you run "alter table x add column" you know that the new column is added last (if you refresh the table you will see it last).
But if you add another GRANT statment to user it won't be in the last.. you have no way of knowing the correct order of GRANTS.

OK. I think I found a bug in PostgreSQL (9.3).
No, it's just that roles and grants are complicated.
When I do:CREATE ROLE ronb
SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEDB CREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;Everything works. I can create the schemas and upload the backup correclty.
If you define a superuser the rest are redundant...
But if I do:CREATE ROLE "ronb" LOGIN
NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
GRANT users TO "ronb";CREATE ROLE users
SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEDB CREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;It doesn't work. ronb user still can't create schemas eventhogh the role users give ronb permission to do so.The GRANT here is worthless.
Not sure where your schema reference is coming from but none of the items specified during the create role command are inheritable. Only grants (object permissions) are. If Ron were to "set user to users" they would gain superuser and could then do what they need. But if they remain calling themselves "ronb" they will remain limited. The notes section of the create role docs emphasize this dynamic.
Also, PostgreSQL doesn't show the GRANTS of role in the same order as they were given (In PgAdmin). It sort them alphabeticly which is highly confusing!If for example you run "alter table x add column" you know that the new column is added last (if you refresh the table you will see it last).But if you add another GRANT statment to user it won't be in the last.. you have no way of knowing the correct order of GRANTS.
Grants don't have any significant order - they are purely additive so either you've got it or you don't.

The below may help you out: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/role-membership.html In particular: " The role attributes LOGIN, SUPERUSER, CREATEDB, and CREATEROLE can be thought of as special privileges, but they are never inherited as ordinary privileges on database objects are. You must actually SET ROLE to a specific role having one of these attributes in order to make use of the attribute. Continuing the above example, we might choose to grant CREATEDB and CREATEROLE to the admin role. Then a session connecting as role joe would not have these privileges immediately, only after doing SET ROLE admin. " All of this is in aid of solving a dump/restore problem for which still do not have enough information to help you with. The bare minimum: 1) The command used to make the dump file. 2) The privileges information on the schema you cannot restore as ronb. 3) The error messages from the Postgres log(not your error file) at the time the restore is done. > > > Also, PostgreSQL doesn't show the GRANTS of role in the same order as > they were given (In PgAdmin).
