Tables created by user x are not seen by any other user until those other users have
received some privilege for this table.
Granting privileges has to be done like this:

GRANT ... ON <tablename> TO <userspec>

<userspec> can be one specific user, several users or PUBLIC, where PUBLIC means:
all user existing now and in the future.

Roles on the other hand are collections of privileges, therefore even a role can be 
specified
(if the role exists) in the <userspec> of the GRANT mentioned above
and the whole role can be granted to users/roles/PUBLIC.
But roles have to be enabled in the session where they should be used.
Normal privileges are valid without explicit enabling.
