+.pgaw:Help.f.t insert end "GRANT" {bold} " GRANT allows the creator of an object to give specific permissions to all users (PUBLIC) or to a certain user or group. Users other than the creator don't have any access permission unless \
+the creator GRANTs permissions, after the object is created. 
+
+Once a user has a privilege on an object, he is enabled to exercise that privilege. There is no need to GRANT privileges to the creator of an object, the creator automatically holds ALL \
+privileges, and can also drop the object.

+
+       Tip: Currently, to create a GROUP you have to insert data manually into table pg_group as: 
+
+                     INSERT INTO pg_group VALUES ('todos');
+                     CREATE USER miriam IN GROUP todos;
+                   
+
+       Refer to REVOKE statements to revoke access privileges. "
