I just switched from using PHP and Mysql to Python / Django and
Postgresql. I am having trouble with the setup of Postgresql
permissions. I am locked out of some parts of the system and am
unsure when to use postgres login vs user login. Most of the
Postgresql instructions are written for non-debian like
installations. They have one do a bunch of things that Debian does
automatically (I think). I found the Debian README confusing,
especially in regards to setting up a special shell that I don't
think I need. Most of the instructions seem to have already been
done automatically.
Debian does not tweak things for you, the special shell you are
talking about is just (I guess) the psql terminal interface to postgres.
Postgres permissions administration is not trivial and if you are
looking for security on a per database basis you should read carefully
how it works.

BTW you are not clear: what are you trying to achieve?
Not too surprising that I wasn't clear. I feel like I'm floundering
around. I am trying to build a data archiving system that will have
multiple levels of users and has a web page access system. Python,
Django, html and javascript will take care of most of the project. I
just need to get the permissions setup for Postgresql. Thanks for
pointing out Chapter 19 of the manual. I haven't read it yet but will do
so asap. I guess I am primarily struggling with the setting up of
accounts and roles; which I guess is about 90% of the database setup. I
probably need to just read more and hope for the best.
