Thanks Andre for your views. I think I am getting an idea on how I might go about your suggestion to RL_Writers, which I can create on the development database copy. This role then can be taken to the production database via the utility that manages other DML operations.
The users that are already there or a newly created then can rely on this RL_Writers without me worrying on the production copy of who the end users might be. Please correct me if I have not followed your suggestion. Let me see how this goes.
