In actual command issued, there is no case mixing. I wanted
to emphasize the argument was a schema name, not a table name.
But this means as new tables get created in the schema, a set
of new commands must be issued?

That sounds like a good idea. Would you mind showing an exmple?
Hi Tena,
-- your user role
roletest=# CREATE ROLE tena LOGIN;
CREATE ROLE
-- a group role
roletest=# CREATE ROLE musicians;
CREATE ROLE
-- put tena 'in' the group role
roletest=# GRANT musicians to tena;
GRANT ROLE
-- connect to roletest a user tena
roletest=# \c roletest tena
You are now connected to database "roletest" as user "tena".
roletest=> select * from test;
ERROR: permission denied for relation test
STATEMENT: select * from test;
ERROR: permission denied for relation test
-- grant SELECT right as superuser in roletest
roletest=> \c roletest postgres
You are now connected to database "roletest" as user "postgres".
roletest=# GRANT SELECT on test to musicians;
GRANT
roletest=# \c roletest tena
You are now connected to database "roletest" as user "tena".
roletest=> SELECT * FROM test;
id | value
----+-------
(0 rows)
Cheers

Two problems. 1: you don't grant select on schemas, you grant it on
tables. 2: case folding. If you're gonna use a name "schema_Z" then
you have to quote it, because it's mixed case, not all lower.

Sorry no wildcarding on grant (At least not yet). You need to grant
it for each table. Note that instead of granting it to a user, you
should grant it to a role, then give membership to that role to the
user.
