uname=arwR -- privileges granted to a user
group gname=arwR -- privileges granted to a GROUP
=arwR -- privileges granted to PUBLIC
r -- SELECT
w -- UPDATE/DELETE
a -- INSERT

INSERT INTO

CREATE USER miriam IN GROUP todos;

If user1 gives a privilege WITH GRANT OPTION to user2, and user2 gives it to user3 then user1 can revoke this privilege in cascade using the CASCADE keyword.
If user1 gives a privilege WITH GRANT OPTION to user2, and user2 gives it to user3 then if user1 try revoke this privilege it fails if he/she specify the RESTRICT keyword.
