That's correct. With the table owned by postgres and the view owned by
"[email protected]", access to the table via the view is subject to
the policies that apply to "[email protected]". So regardless of
who the current user is, when selecting from the view, the policy
"standard" will be applied, and that will limit the visible rows to
those for which usr = current_user.

Regards,
Dean
