This parameter controls the default read-only status of each new transaction.
The default is off.

I am having trouble forbidding not a user but a group of users from making transaction on DB. Any idea of how to that using what Michael is proposing?

Thanks in advance

We can also add this.

I found Your website very useful and recently I got into this particular article.
What I wanted to share is a little addition which I tried many times and which is about forbidding a user from making any transactions on the DB.
Apart from what You’ve showed above, one could add

alter user set default_transaction_read_only = on;

This little piece of code is specially useful when creating a user account to handle backup.

Once again – great job with this website!
