The view table_privileges identifies all
privileges granted on tables or views to the current user or by the
current user. There is one row for each combination of table,
grantor, and grantee. Privileges granted to groups are identified
in the view role_table_grants.

Note that the column grantee makes no
distinction between users and groups. If you have users and groups
with the same name, there is unfortunately no way to distinguish
them. A future version of PostgreSQL
will possibly prohibit having users and groups with the same name.
