grant all privileges on database test to auser
As far as I can tell this does nothing. Intuitively this command suggests
that the auser would be able to access and modify the database test in
anyway. It would also suggest that as new tables for the database auser
would automatically have access to them.
It just grants all privileges for a database object to auser.
You should check out the grant manager in Lightning Admin for
Postgresql, it visually shows everything and makes
it a bitter easier to see how it works.

In the screenshot the cells that are green are the ones that can be set
for a particular object, and for a database it's just
two. So the grant statement you used above did indeed do something, but
only for a database object.
Hope this helps.
