You could continue with this function, with an additional cursor to get the parameters for the function. If this is a one off thing, that you just need to do once, you could use pg_dump to get the create function statements and then simply alter them with an re in your favorite editor. 

You should consider using groups. Then you could just add the new user to the existing group that has execute access.

hope that helps....

  Subject: [SQL] Scripting GRANT on functions


  Is there any easy way to script granting privileges to a number of
  functions? I've got as far as the following code before realising that
  I'll need to pass in the arguments, and the arguments are stored as OIDs
  in pg_proc.

  Is there any easy way, such as GRANT .... FUNCTION OID 12345?

  ---CODE---

  DECLARE
    curs REFCURSOR;
    funcname VARCHAR;
  BEGIN
    OPEN foo FOR
      SELECT proname FROM pg_proc
       WHERE proname LIKE 'tr\\_%'
          OR proname LIKE 'tt\\_%'
          OR proname LIKE 'v\\_%'
          OR proname LIKE 'vui\\_%';

    FETCH curs INTO funcname;

    WHILE FOUND LOOP
      FETCH curs INTO funcname;
      EXECUTE 'GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION ' || funcname || ' TO myuser';
    END LOOP;

    CLOSE curs;
  END;

  ---END CODE---


  Best regards,
