Hi, I recently installed Redash 3 to connect with our Postgres. When tested using my Postgres admin user, the query window can list all available tables. Then I create a specific role for Redash, (e.g ‘redash’) with only granted select and execution on objects in public schema. When I open the query window again (this time using ‘redash’ to connect to Postgres) the table list is gone. I thought something not right with my config at first, but then I noticed that I can get the list back when switched again my datasource connection to admin user for Postgres.
I want to know how Redash listing Postgres objects, since I don’t want to grant entire pg_catalogs content to this 'redash ’ role.
