8.1 is expected to have Roles support in it, which merges users and
groups into one space. Roles can log in, can have passwords, and can
have members. Members of a role have the permissions (including
owner-level permissions for objects owned by that role) of the role.
Personally I'd really like to see a way to set the 'default owner' for a
schema to help with exactly these issues. That wasn't included in the
Roles support but I think is a natural follow-on to it since the schema
could be owned by a Role which has members.
Thanks,
