I created a role named 'carlos' which is my current user account with 'superuser' grants but my question is when I look at 'postgres' account, he has additional grants that I don't understand. List of roles Role name | Attributes | Member of -----------+-------------+----------- carlos | Superuser | {} jmadeline | Create DB | {} mwilshaw | Create DB | {} postgres | Superuser | {} : Create role : Create DB So from what I see above, 'carlos' is a superuser but do I need to grant him 'CREATEROLE' & 'CREATEDB' rights along with 'SUPERUSER' or is 'SUPERUSER' by itself good enough? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
