To grant permissions to all of the existing tables in the schema use:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA <schema> TO <role>
To specify default permissions that will be applied to future tables use:
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA <schema>
GRANT <privileges> ON TABLES TO <role>;
e.g.
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA public
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON TABLES TO admin;
If you use SERIAL
or BIGSERIAL
columns then you will probably want to do the same for SEQUENCES
, or else your INSERT
will fail (Postgres 10's IDENTITY
doesn't suffer from that problem, and is recommended over the SERIAL
types), i.e.
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA <schema> GRANT ALL ON SEQUENCES TO <role>;
See also my answer to PostgreSQL Permissions for Web App for more details and a reusable script.
