PostgreSQL can I inherit search_path variable from a “group role”?

Question

I know I can define the search_path variable for a login this way:

ALTER ROLE myrole SET search_path=public, foo, bar;

But if I use a lot of logins I will also use groups (groups in pgadmin which are in fact roles). I would like to define the search_path variable on group level, so I remove this previous SET and instead wrote:

ALTER ROLE mygroup SET search_path=public, foo, bar;

And just define login as a member of the group

GRANT mygroup TO myrole

Now, a SHOW search_path; show me only the default search-path "$user",public. Is there a way to define variables for the group level (so with inheritance)?

Answer 1

No you can't do that. The search_path is a variable not a grant-able object.
