So. it's a intended feature, and I didn't think of the differences you
mentioned.

I would have thought that, just like a normal *nix ACL, the
roles/permissions would get inherited based on the group's role.

So, I'll have to manually create the set the roles for the individual
users. Perhaps I shouldn't have changed from using the public schema.

K. thanks for the answer.
