If you provide a bit more information (such as where and how you see
this information), you might assist those trying to help. I ended up
looking through the system catalogs, in particular pg_database, which
pointed me to the GRANT and REVOKE documentation. Not the quickest
route, but I got there. Hope this helps.

...purrrfect! thanks michael. i got there by "\dp"

a sorta follow-up:
"\dp" gets access privileges for objects inside the public schema.
how'd i find access privileges for a private schema (not objects
inside that private schema- "\dp schemaname." gets that fine)?

just did a "grant on..." a private schema and wanna see it. something
like "\z schemaname"?
