ODK Aggregate Server - Inheriting permissions

We are using postgres9 and aggregate 1.4.7. We find ourselves having to
re-create DB permissions for the new tables every time a new version is
uploaded and new tables are created by uploading a form definition. If we
create a table manually it inherits the default permissions fine, but not
for those created by form definition upload.

Does anyone have experience with / an explanation / a fix for this issue?

Let me know if more info is needed.

Thanks
Jason

Did you run the create_db_and_user.sql script when setting up the
PostgreSQL database?

That should have granted full creation rights to the database account set
up for ODK Aggregate.

Or has PostgreSQL changed the inheritance and delegation of those rights in
the last 5 years?

We tested it way back on PostgreSQL 9.1

I don't think anything this substantial would have changed in a minor
release.

Thanks Mitch,

Yes, we are running create_db_and_user.sql script. Currently we are
running postgresql 9.2.15-1.el7_2.

The issue we are seeing is that when ODK creates a new table, the new
tables don’t inherit the default privileges. We have assigned the
privileges at both the database and schema level.

Anyone else seen this issue?

Hi Jason,

Has this ever worked the way you expected? What, if anything changed,
before you noticed the problem?

Hi Yaw,

Thanks for checking in on this. No, it has never functioned as expected,
always as described below.

Hi Jason,

Interesting. I've filed the issue at
https://github.com/opendatakit/opendatakit/issues/1255. What would
help is if you could try installing on a clean VM with Aggregate
1.4.12, Tomcat 6, and PostgreSQL 9.1 and see if you can reproduce it.
If you can, then describe the steps in that issue so the core team can
repro it. Basically, we need to understand if this is an issue with
your infrastructure or with the version of Postgres or with the
version of Aggregate.

Anyone else with PostgreSQL having this problem?

Another thing to look at:

The ODK Aggregate database username must be granted read access to the

information_schema.columns

table. If you have restricted that user to only have access to the schema
used by ODK Aggregate, then this might be why you are having trouble. In
general, this user should be granted read access to anything in the
information_schema
