It's on the To-Do list (admittedly not the one on the web site though!). It
got kind of missed as I did all the permissions stuff in the 6.3.x releases
when (as far as I could tell) the concept of groups was only implemented in
as much as a pg_group table existed. Consequently I designed my own system
for our software....
Regards,
Dave.

Beer can be a permanent solution, but only if you have enough of it!

One thing I found lacking, or just couldn't find...the ability to
grant/revoke group permissions? Just something I'm missing, or just not
implemented yet?
