RE: problem with read-only user

Hi Tom
Thanks for your answer.
Actually, you're right, the tables, the sequences are created by the user kidsdpn03 and another read-only role (kidsdpn03_ro) must interrogate these objects.
So every time the kidsdpn03 role creates a new table, the kidsdpn03_ro role will not have the rights to read them. Kidsdpn03_ro must be explicitly granted read rights on this objects.
Can you confirm that if it was the kidsdpn03_ro role that created the tables, there would be no problem when accessing new tables?
Thanks in advance.

You only showed us part of what you did ... but IIRC, ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES only affects privileges for objects subsequently made by the same user that issued the command.
(Otherwise it'd be a security issue.) So maybe you didn't make the tables as the same user?
