42501: INSUFFICIENT PRIVILEGE ERROR while querying in Postgresql

Question

I am trying to query a database table in postgresql, but every time I run the below query it gives me the INSUFFICIENT PRIVILEGE error. What possibly could be the reason for

Answer 1

The user running the query will need permissions to that table. You can grant them to that user with the GRANT statement. The below is an example that grants to PUBLIC

GRANT SELECT ON tablename TO PUBLIC;

Also I have seen SELinux cause isses and places such as here mention it. I am not exactly sure of the command to turn SELinux off but you can see if it is running by using

selinuxenabled && echo enabled || echo disabled
