This query will list all of the tables in all of the databases and schemas  uncomment the line s  in the WHERE clause to filter for specific databases  schemas  or tables   with the privileges shown in order so that it s easy to see if a specific privilege is granted or not   SELECT grantee        table catalog        table schema        table name        string agg privilege type       ORDER BY privilege type  AS privileges FROM information schema role table grants  WHERE grantee     postgres   --  and table catalog    somedatabase     uncomment line to filter database    --  and table schema     someschema       uncomment line to filter schema     --  and table name       sometable        uncomment line to filter table     GROUP BY 1  2  3  4    Sample output   grantee  table catalog    table schema   table name      privileges       -------- ---------------- -------------- --------------- ---------------  PUBLIC   adventure works  pg catalog     pg sequence     SELECT           PUBLIC   adventure works  pg catalog     pg sequences    SELECT           PUBLIC   adventure works  pg catalog     pg settings     SELECT  UPDATE

z mytable from psql gives you all the grants from a table  but you d then have to split it up by individual user

I already found it   SELECT grantee  privilege type  FROM information schema role table grants  WHERE table name  mytable

If you really want one line per user  you can group by grantee  require PG9  for string agg   SELECT grantee  string agg privilege type        AS privileges FROM information schema role table grants  WHERE table name  mytable     GROUP BY grantee    This should output something like     grantee     privileges    --------- ----------------  user1     INSERT  SELECT  user2     UPDATE  2 rows
