I had to make some choices. if there are both a user and a role permission, the user permission is applicable. I replaced the user and role by zuser and zrole, because they are reserved words in postgres, and I don't like quoting. The query is not very easthetic in its current form but it seems to work. The data is fictuous.

BTW: the above query is still not correct. If a user belongs to more than one role, the query would produce multiple rows for that user. There needs to be added distinct/max() to the role subquery.
UPDATE: to solve the duplicate roles per person problems, I created this double nested CTE:
WITH lutser AS (
WITH aggr AS (
WITH rope AS (
SELECT DISTINCT
ur.user_id AS user_id
, rp.permission_id AS permission_id
, rp.value AS value
FROM user_roles ur
JOIN role_permissions rp ON rp.role_id = ur.role_id
GROUP BY ur.user_id , rp.permission_id , rp.value
)
SELECT user_id,permission_id, value
FROM rope yes
WHERE yes.value = True
UNION ALL
SELECT user_id,permission_id, value
FROM rope nono
WHERE nono.value = False
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM rope nx
WHERE nx.user_id= nono.user_id
AND nx.permission_id= nono.permission_id
AND nx.value = True
)
)
SELECT COALESCE(up.user_id , ag.user_id) AS user_id
, COALESCE(up.permission_id , ag.permission_id) AS permission_id
, up.value AS uval
, ag.value AS rval
FROM user_permissions up
FULL JOIN aggr ag ON ag.user_id = up.user_id AND ag.permission_id = up.permission_id
)
SELECT us.username
, pe.permission_name
, lu.uval AS uval
, lu.rval AS rval
, COALESCE(lu.uval , lu.rval) AS tval
FROM lutser lu
JOIN zuser us ON us.id = lu.user_id
JOIN permission pe ON pe.id = lu.permission_id
;
Its functioning can be shown by adding / uncommenting the data row ,(5,2,4, '2010-01-01' ) to the user_role table. Again, I had to make a choice: if two roles exist for a user, with conflicting truth-values, the True one wins. I think the query can be simplified / beautified, but at least it works correctly now.
