[Qgis-user] Save projects to DB without creator's permissions

What is the best approach to save QGIS projects to PostgreSQL
without saving the project-creator's credentials/permissions? If the DB
admin creates a project and saves it to the DB, anyone opening that project
will attain the admin's permissions on layers in that map.

To recreate:

1) Create a map containing PostGIS layers and save project to DB. All
layers should be editable by the admin. Admin is logged into DB with auth
config, not basic auth.
2) Create a new read-only user and new profile in QGIS and log in to DB.
3) Open the project and try to edit layers. Read-only user will be able to
see and edit all layers just like the DB Admin.

Is there a way to save projects to DB WITHOUT saving any user
creds/permissions?
