Yes your right. Thanks.
It looks as though the views are created the first time you login to
pgAdmin. So when I logged first as an ordinary user not as the postgres
(database superuser), the views were created with this user as the owner.
A trap for beginners!!

pgadmin_users is a view, no? Which user was it created by? Views
execute with the permissions of the creating user, for reasons that
should be apparent after some thought.
