Granting access to a database does specifically what the documentation
says it does, which does affect the default access rights for newly
created objects.

Currently there really isn't a way to do this. You could run a cron script
that sets protections for tables on a regular schedule.

What it seems you really want is a per user or per database value that
specifies a default access mode for newly created objects roughly
similar to umask on Unix systems.
