Re: User Privileges

SELECT relacl FROM pg_class WHERE relname = '[table name]'

The relacl column contains specific information that must then be parsed to
determine the users which have access to a the table and the privileges
granted.

Example:

{"=","dan=arw","group developers=arw"}

The first section means the PUBLIC does not have any privileges on the
table. Each permission (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE/DELETE, RULE) is signified
by a letter. r = select, a = insert, w = update/delete, R = rule. User
"dan" has SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE/DELETE rights, but not RULE rights. Group
"developers" has the same privileges.
