Now I don't:) What you show is changing the ownership of an object. I thought
you where asking about how to add members to a role and the relationship
between 'users' and 'groups'? What Scott showed was a good start, but I would
suggest some more experimenting. ROLES are powerful but there is a learning
curve, especially when you start using SET ROLE and SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION.
