PGAdmin and user privileges - what I do wrong?
Hi!
Please help me a little.
I used PGAdmin to administrate my databases.
I created a new user named "zx".
CREATE ROLE zx LOGIN
ENCRYPTED PASSWORD '*'
NOSUPERUSER NOINHERIT NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE;
When I want to manually assign this user to a table, I have problem in
the PGAdmin's Privilege tab.
The privileges GroupBox have a ComboBox, named Role. This ComboBox is
not containing the zx user in it's list.
When I write the user (zx) into the combo , then the "Add" button have
been disabled.
I can write only an SQL cmd to add this privilege. When I do it, the
Privilege list extended with this user, I can select it from the combobox.
What I do wrong? Which property I need to set to I can Add privileges to
the tables/objects with this user?
Thanks for your help:

By default, that combo box shows only group roles.
You need to go to File -> Options -> Preferences tab, and select "Show
users for privileges".
By the way, there's a separate mailing list for specifically pgAdmin
questions - pgadmin-support@postgresql.org - you'll find subscription
instructions on the pgAdmin website. This list is for PostgreSQL itself.
HTH,
Ray.

See File -> Options -> Preferences -> Show users for privileges?
By default, only group roles are listed.

This saved my day. Thanks!
In pgAdmin III the option it is: File -> Options... -> Browser > UI
Miscellaneous
This stuff is confusing for a beginner. I wish pgadmin III had some tooltip
or Help link to relevant chapter about "Why creating users is discouraged?".
