Case Study On User Roles

This document describes PostgreSQL role and privilege management. It shows how to: 1. Create roles like admin with specific privileges like CREATEROLE and CREATEDB. 2. View table privileges using \z and role attributes using \du. 3. Grant privileges on tables to roles. For example, granting ALL privileges on table t1 to roles admin and test1. 4. Revoke privileges, for example revoking DELETE on t1 from admin. 5. Set role and perform actions based on granted privileges, like test1 inserting into t1. 6. Implement row-level security policies to restrict data access based on current user.
