Goal Find excessive privileges to use base tabes (for others than the owner of the base table). The excessive privileges are all that are not SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE.
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, tp.table_name, t.table_type, 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='BASE TABLE' 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 NOT IN ('SELECT','INSERT','UPDATE','DELETE')
AND grantee <> ALL (SELECT tableowner
FROM pg_catalog.pg_tables AS pt

Fix Action #1

ORDER BY grantee, tp.table_schema, tp.table_name;
