Re: Simple webuser setup

I have a db named archive, a schema named library, and a table named
book.  I have granted USAGE on library to webuser and SELECT on book to
webuser.  When I try to do a select I get an error saying "permission
denied for schema library".  I have tried every combination I can think
of, but none seem to work.  My real question is just what should I do
to get this effect for the above?  What permissions do I need for the
db, schema, and table? I have a user named "webuser" belonging to a
group named "webgroup" and I am granting the above privileges to
webgroup.
