GeoServer doesn't affect Postgres permissions; all database access to a
particular store in GeoServer is made using the same connection parameters
(and therefore the same Postres user). The permissions in GeoServer only
influence what GeoServer itself will allow (through WFS transactions for
example).
If you want to have different levels of access to Postgres you will need to
use Postgres's security tools:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/sql-createuser.html
It is possible to create multiple 'stores' in GeoServer connecting to the
same database with different user credentials, but I am not sure if this
will actually help you accomplish what you're trying to do.
Hope this helps.
