       CREATE_USER - define a new database role

SYNOPSIS

             SUPERUSER | NOSUPERUSER
           | CREATEDB | NOCREATEDB
           | CREATEROLE | NOCREATEROLE

           | CONNECTION LIMIT connlimit

           | IN GROUP role_name [, ...]
           | ROLE role_name [, ...]

           | USER role_name [, ...]
           | SYSID uid

DESCRIPTION

       CREATE USER is now an alias for CREATE ROLE (CREATE_ROLE(7)). The only difference is that
       when the command is spelled CREATE USER, LOGIN is assumed by default, whereas NOLOGIN is
       assumed when the command is spelled CREATE ROLE.

COMPATIBILITY

       The CREATE USER statement is a PostgreSQL extension. The SQL standard leaves the
       definition of users to the implementation.
