Re: Prevent users from creating tables

Yes, that's what I needed.
I needed to revoke privs from the public schema to all users and then
revoke the privs for the users to create their own schemas.

So by default, all users have privs to create tables in schema 'public'?
Why would postgresql developers decide to do that instead of denying all
access unless it is granted? For ease of use? Just curious.

Thank you for your help, it's appreciated!

My DDL for a schema usually looks something like

CREATE SCHEMA passport AUTHORIZATION postgres;
REVOKE ALL ON SCHEMA passport FROM public;
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA passport TO postgres;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA passport TO GROUP acct;

Perhaps you have missed the REVOKE ALL...?
