PostgreSQL permissions
I'm trying to achieve a simple architecture:
- An organization has many users
- A user belongs to many organizations
- A user can connect
- A user can join and leave an organization
- A user can read-only tables granted to organizations
First, securing permissions, as recommended in many places (https://ankane.org/postgres-users, https://marcyes.com/2016/0922-messing-with-postgresql-users-and-permissions/)
REVOKE ALL ON DATABASE stamped_development FROM PUBLIC;
REVOKE ALL ON SCHEMA public FROM PUBLIC;
Then, creating an organizations role with read permissions:
CREATE ROLE organizations;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA public TO organizations;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES in SCHEMA public TO organizations;
Then, creating a users role with connect permissions:
CREATE ROLE users WITH LOGIN;
GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE stamped_development TO users;
Create an organization and a user:
CREATE ROLE org_123 IN ROLE organizations;
CREATE ROLE user_123 WITH NOINHERIT ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'secret' IN ROLE users;
Joining and leaving organizations as a user:
GRANT org_123 TO user_123;
REVOKE org_123 FROM user_123;
Problems:
psql -U user_123 -w secret
fails with:role "user_123" is not permitted to log in
- at some point I've been able to login, but couldn't read tables
Any thoughts on what's missing?
