Doadmin permissions for spatial_ref_sys in postgis

Posted on November 29, 2019

I’ve created a Managed PostgreSQL Database with the Postgis extension. It creates the spatial_ref_sys table with the list of supported reference projections for spatial queries. I need to add a new projection to spatial_ref_sys but it gives the error: permission denied for table spatial_ref_sys. I’ve used the doadmin user to create the extension and the table spatial_ref_sys is owned by postgres user. I can’t change the ownership, neither the permissions. How can I do that with my user privileges?

Thanks

Same here. Since it is still not answered after several months, this would probably be a reason for me to abandon database clusters managed by Digital Ocean and create the one by hand. Another critical issue for me was inability to restore the same database cluster from a daily backup - you can only create a new one which is very uncomfortable, especially when you need to do this often for testing purposes.
