Re: Group role not shown in properties > Default Privileges after adding it - Mailing list pgadmin-support
Looks like pgAdmin's user handling is broken or nonsensical. Just as a test, I created a new login role named test. Here's its SQL:
CREATE ROLE test LOGIN
ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'md505a671c66aefea124cc08b76ea6d30bb'
NOSUPERUSER INHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE NOREPLICATION;
Then I went to the Tables section of one of a db's schemas, started the Grant Wizard, then went to the Privileges tab, and this test account doesn't appear in the Role dropdown. All I see is public. If I type in test, I can't press Add/Change no matter what I select in Privileges.
This doesn't make sense. If I create a login role, it should show up here and allow me to assign it to arbitrary tables.
And I can confirm that pgAdmin is not acting correctly through direct SQL. If I run this:
grant select on txdot_roadways_3081_transform to gis;
(gis is the account I was trying to use earlier.) Then I can select from that table using that account via another program.'
Why does pgAdmin prevents me from assigning any login account?

One correction. I wrote "group role", but I think it's actually a login role.
