PostgreSQL supports granting users privileges on some rows only.
This recipe uses RLS, which is available only in PostgreSQL version 9.5 or later, so start by checking that you are not using an older version.
As for the previous recipe, we assume that there is already a schema called someschema and a role called somerole with USAGE privileges on it. We create a new table to experiment with row-level privileges:
