Unfortunately, Everything that is a permission (CREATEROLE, etc) when creating a role cannot be inherited. Only the GRANT stuff is inherited and I think only when the WITH .. is given on the GRANT.
I may be wrong on the last part though. David On 3/15/07, Alexi Gen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
[GENERAL] Role & User - Inheritance? A ROLE dba01 has been given the option of SUPERSUSER. A USER user01 is created and tagged to the above ROLE dba01. When attempting to create a Tablespace (logged in as user01) it generates the following message: "permission denied to create tablespace (tblspc01). Must be superuser to create a tablespace.". Since user01 is tagged to dba01 (who has the SUPERUSER option) - should'nt user01 also inherit this? If not - what benefit exists in grouping users under a Role?
