I'm building a spring boot application. Flyway database migrations are executed at the application startup.
I decided to use two different roles: role__app (read/write rights on tables, sequences in app schema) and role__migration (advanced rights in app/migration schemas).
Flyway migrations are executed under role__migration so it becomes the owner of the created objects. I thought that the following statements would help:
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA app GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON TABLES TO role__app;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA app GRANT USAGE ON SEQUENCES TO role__app;
But when the new tables are added to the app schema the user__app (belongs to the role__app) doesn't have access to the tables.
Is it possible to maintain such a flow (with app, migrattion users/roles) by Postgres or by any other means?
As a side note I should mention that I run the following statements on the target database:
REVOKE CREATE ON SCHEMA public FROM PUBLIC;
REVOKE ALL ON DATABASE myDb FROM PUBLIC;
Update 1
I added the FOR ROLE clause, yet I'm still getting the permission denied message for a created table (app.property) in app schema for user user__app. The owner of the table is user__mig.
Update 2
After logging in as postgres user in dbeaver we can see that user__mig has all necessary permissions ticked whereas the user__app has no permissions on the app.property table at all:
Here is a gist to reproduce the problem: https://gist.github.com/happygrizzly/849a6a791f028ba5b191f73180ae35d1
You should write
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR USER role__migration ...
If you omit the FOR USER clause, the privileges are only granted on objects created by the user who ran ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES.
With the above statement, the privileges are granted when role__migration creates an object. That does not extend to members of the role role__migration.

I created new role named "support" in my PostgreSQL. Now I need grant "READ ONLY" permissions for this role an ALL exists databases/tables.
Also I need automatically granted same permissions on each DB that will created in future.
I unsuccessfully tried next queries for grant permissions in new databases (Can not select from new database tables ):
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR ROLE support GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO PUBLIC;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON TABLES to support;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES allows you to set the privileges that will be
applied to objects created in the future. (It does not affect
privileges assigned to already-existing objects.)
I'm using CloudSQL Postgres 11 on GCP, and I've got a few questions around permissions and grants. I'm just not getting it at the moment, being very new to postgres.
I have a user, pgadmin which is a superuser. With this user I can connect to the instance and create a database called 'sandbox' for example.
I then have an app role which is defined as follows:
CREATE ROLE app;
GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE <database name> TO app;
GRANT USAGE, CREATE ON SCHEMA public TO app;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO app;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON TABLES TO app;
GRANT USAGE ON ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA public TO app;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public GRANT USAGE ON SEQUENCES TO app;
I create a user called app_sandbox which I grant this role.
The app user then makes a db migration using flyway which creates 2 tables. That side of things is fine.
But with my superuser, pgadmin, I can't see these tables or query them even though this user owns the database and is a superuser. I've tried all sorts of grants. Feels like I'm missing something important because even if I true to create a readonly role with the pgadmin user I am unable to grant access to the underlying tables in the public schema of the database.
What am I missing?
Just because one user (=pgadmin) owns the database, does not mean that user also owns the tables created in that database. And because pgadmin doesn't own those tables, you can't access them when logged in as pgadmin
If the app user created the tables, they belong to that user, and only the app user can grant privileges on those tables to other users.

I want to set a user which I can use remote, that for a database can:
do any rows operations
can't add new columns
can't delete/create database or tables
I don't want the user to have access to other databases
I executed:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE "example" to user_name;
REVOKE CREATE ON DATABASE "example" FROM user_name;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO user_name;
The following fails:
REVOKE CREATE ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public FROM user_name;
invalid privilege type CREATE for relation
Can you, please, add all necessary steps.
Also,:
some help to what to set in pg_admin drop, to import only data remotely.

You probably want to keep the user from crating tables in schema public.
For that, you must revoke the CREATE privilege on that schema which is by default granted to everybody:
REVOKE CREATE ON SCHEMA public FROM PUBLIC;
If you want to user to have permissions on tables that will be created in the future, consider using ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES.
I need to restrict a user, access only on a particualr schema tables only.So I tried following query and login as user1_gmail_com. But I got following error when I try to browse any schema table.
My Query:
SELECT clone_schema('my_application_template_schema','user1_gmail_com');
CREATE USER user1_gmail_com WITH PASSWORD 'myloginpassword';
REVOKE ALL ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA user1_gmail_com FROM PUBLIC;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA user1_gmail_com TO user1_gmail_com;
SQL error:
ERROR: permission denied for schema user1_gmail_com at character 46
In statement:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS total FROM (SELECT * FROM "user1_gmail_com"."organisations_table") AS sub
Updated Working Query:
SELECT clone_schema('my_application_template_schema','user1_gmail_com');
CREATE USER user1_gmail_com WITH PASSWORD 'myloginpassword';
REVOKE ALL ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA user1_gmail_com FROM PUBLIC;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA user1_gmail_com TO user1_gmail_com;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA user1_gmail_com TO user1_gmail_com;
You need to grant access not only to the tables in the schema, but also to the schema itself.
From the manual:
By default, users cannot access any objects in schemas they do not own. To allow that, the owner of the schema must grant the USAGE privilege on the schema.
So either make your created user the owner of the schema, or grant USAGE on the schema to this user.
This confused me. Still not sure I'm handling it correctly. Run \h grant for the syntax within psql. Here is how I managed to get my other users and groups to work as I needed:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON SCHEMA foo TO GROUP bar;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA foo TO GROUP bar;
I kept getting this error when using flyway to deploy database changes. I do some manual setup first, such as creating the database, so flyway wouldn't need those super-admin permissions.
My Fix
I had to ensure that the database user that flyway job used had ownership rights to the public schema, so that the flyway user could then assign the right to use the schema to other roles.
Additional setup Details
I am using AWS RDS (both regular and Aurora), and they don't allow super users in the databases. RDS reserves super users for use by AWS, only, so that consumers are unable to break the replication stuff that is built in. However, there's a catch-22 that you must be an owner in postgres to be able to modify it.
My solution was to create a role that acts as the owner ('owner role'), and then assign both my admin user and the flyway user to the owner role, and use ALTER scripts for each object to assign the object's owner to the owner role.
I missed the public schema, since that was auto-created when I created the database script manually. The public schema defaulted to my admin role rather than the shared owner role. So when the flyway user tried to assign public schema permissions to other roles, it didn't have the authority to do that. An error was not thrown during flyway execution, however.
