Not at the moment. The only control you have is 'show only owned databases'.
'Show only owned schemas' is also quite easy. Even better would be if I
filtered the list of schemas by 'has_object_privilege(schemaoid, 'USAGE')'
or however that function works.

The general philosophy of phpPgAdmin is to allow everything that PostgreSQL
allows and don't try to be clever about restricting things because such
restrictions are pure fantasy since we let people execute whatever SQL they
want.
