You can use them but you have to explicitly SET ROLE to the group that has 'em. Example: regression=# create group admin createrole; CREATE ROLE regression=# create user tgl in group admin; CREATE ROLE regression=# \c - tgl You are now connected as new user "tgl". regression=> create user foo; ERROR: permission denied to create role regression=> set role admin; SET regression=> create user foo; CREATE ROLE For more info see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/role-membership.html regards, tom lane
