Thanks a lot Tom, it worked by putting off the read only mode to off
before changing the password and putting it on again.

SET default_transaction_read_only = off;

Worked for me..

It works but the point Tom was making is here:

"You realize, I hope, that breaking out of that restriction is no harder
than issuing

SET default_transaction_read_only = off;

or even

BEGIN TRANSACTION READ WRITE;

So that ALTER ROLE might be of some use as a protection against accidental
changes, but it's certainly no form of security restriction.  (What you
probably want to do instead of this is make sure the role doesn't have
select/update/delete privileges for any of your tables.)
"

Given that in your original post you said:

"Because I wanted this role to readonly (can not change anything in DB but only view)."


you might want to rethink what you are doing.


Many thanks to you!

Regards
Ravi
