Goal Find non-SELECT privileges to use views (for others than the owner of the view). Perhaps there should be only the privilege to make queries (SELECT statements based on the views) and data modification takes place by using routines. REFERENCES and TRIGGER privileges are definitely not needed.
Type Problem detection Each row in the result could represent a flaw in the design
Reliability Medium Medium number of false-positive results
License MIT (opens in new tab)
Fixing Suggestion Revoke the excess privileges.
Data Source INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog
SQL Query 
SELECT tp.grantee, tp.table_schema AS view_schema, tp.table_name AS view_name, tp.privilege_type
FROM information_schema.table_privileges AS tp INNER JOIN information_schema.tables AS t
ON t.table_schema=tp.table_schema AND t.table_name=tp.table_name
WHERE t.table_type='VIEW' AND tp.table_schema NOT IN  (SELECT schema_name
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.schemata
WHERE schema_name<>'public' AND
schema_owner='postgres' AND schema_name IS NOT NULL)
AND tp.privilege_type<>'SELECT'
AND grantee <> ALL (SELECT viewowner
FROM pg_catalog.pg_views AS pv
WHERE pv.schemaname=tp.table_schema AND pv.viewname=tp.table_name)
ORDER BY grantee, tp.table_schema, tp.table_name;

SQL statements that help generate fixes for the identified problem.

Fix Action #1
SELECT format('REVOKE %1$s ON TABLE %2$I.%3$I FROM %4$I;', tp.privilege_type, tp.table_schema, tp.table_name, tp.grantee) AS statements
FROM information_schema.table_privileges AS tp INNER JOIN information_schema.tables AS t
ON t.table_schema=tp.table_schema AND t.table_name=tp.table_name
WHERE t.table_type='VIEW' AND tp.table_schema NOT IN  (SELECT schema_name
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.schemata
WHERE schema_name<>'public' AND
schema_owner='postgres' AND schema_name IS NOT NULL)
AND tp.privilege_type<>'SELECT'
AND grantee <> ALL (SELECT viewowner
FROM pg_catalog.pg_views AS pv
WHERE pv.schemaname=tp.table_schema AND pv.viewname=tp.table_name)
ORDER BY grantee, tp.table_schema, tp.table_name;

Revoke the privilege.
