Folks,

There are situations where a "default deny" policy is the best fit.

To that end, I have a modest proposal:

     REVOKE PUBLIC FROM role;

Thenceforth, the role in question would only have access to things it
was specifically granted.

Wouldn't that render the user utterly unable to do anything until you added a bunch of GRANTs on the system catalogs for that user or a group they're a member of?


No.

Try it and see. You can do a lot without having any access rights at all to the catalog tables.

cheers
