If what you want is some kind of row-level security, you have to roll your
own when using PostgreSQL. Security_barrier views are a good option for
this. See:

http://blog.2ndquadrant.com/how-do-postgresql-security_barrier-views-work/

PostgreSQL 9.4 (out in a couple months) will be enhancing security_barrier
views, so they will also be updatable without requiring the use of triggers.
