Thanks for the explanation, I was missing your point. Hmm. On top of my mind, couldn't we also use a regexp for the pg-role rather than just a hardcoded keyword here then, so as it would be possible to allow a mapping to pass for a group of role names? "all" is just a pattern to allow everything, at the end. -- Michael
