Wouldn't you also need a CREATE TEMP TABLE privilege but the

Writing a file on the server requires significant privilege, including
access to the server itself so you can retrieve the results.
But we also do COPY to STDOUT which requires no special privileges on
the server.
Incidentally, if we are going to allow copy out from views, it would be
nice and orthogonal to allow copy in too. Hasn't there been some talk
about making automatically writeable views?
