Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
I create two tables where a field in one is constrained to only contain values
that exist in a field in the other. I create a group and grant all on the
constrained table to that group. I grant the group select on the constraining
table. I add a user to the group. When the user tries to insert into the
constrained table, I get permission denied.
I need to grant update on the constraining table in order to insert a record
into the constrained table
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Create a database named test. Run this script into it:
create table by_me(
needed int primary key
);
insert into by_me values(1);
create table im_constrained(
field1 int,
constraint im_constrained_by_me foreign key ( field1)
references by_me
match full
on delete no action
);
create group test;
grant select,update,delete,insert on im_constrained to group test;
grant select on by_me to group test;
Add a user to group "test"
suid to that user and try to add a record
test=> insert into im_constrained values(1);
ERROR: by_me: Permission denied.
