Hi,

I'd like to ask you a question about users, groups and roles.

 

In older versions of Postgres we had users and groups as two separate
entities

Our IT department at work is called "sti", that's why:

-         I had a user "sti" (the username of our IT manager)

-         I had a group "sti" (the group containing all the users of our
department: user1, user2.)

 

When we upgraded to PostgreSQL 8.2.4, came up the concept of roles; users
and groups became one entity

So now I have in my database, only one role, called "sti"

 

My questions are:

 

1.      how do I identify the users assigned to this role :
(in the older version)
SELECT grolist from pg_group where groname = 'sti'; 

 

2.      how do I differ granting permissions on a table to the user sti from
the whole members of the group sti
(in the older version)
GRANT SELECT ON table TO group sti;
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE ON table TO sti;



 

I'd appreciate any help regarding this issue
