I’d like to create a database user with the least privileges possible.

Currently I create the user like this…

psql -d "postgres" -c "CREATE USER \"$APP_USER\" WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD '$APP_PASSWORD';"
psql -d "postgres" -c "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE $PGDATABASE TO \"$APP_USER\";"

Could I have less privileges? I feel like I’m giving the user too much :point_up:.
