  (`+CREATE USER+` is equivalent to `+CREATE ROLE+` except that `+CREATE USER+` assumes `+LOGIN+` by default, while `+CREATE ROLE+` does not.)
[.term]#superuser status::
  A database superuser bypasses all permission checks, except the right to log in. This is a dangerous privilege and should not be used carelessly; it is best to do most of your work as a role that is not a superuser. To create a new database superuser, use `+CREATE ROLE +`_`+name+`_`+ SUPERUSER+`. You must do this as a role that is already a superuser.
[.term]#database creation::
  A role must be explicitly given permission to create databases (except for superusers, since those bypass all permission checks). To create such a role, use `+CREATE ROLE +`_`+name+`_`+ CREATEDB+`.
[.term]#role creation::
  A role must be explicitly given permission to create more roles (except for superusers, since those bypass all permission checks). To create such a role, use `+CREATE ROLE +`_`+name+`_`+ CREATEROLE+`. A role with `+CREATEROLE+` privilege can alter and drop other roles, too, as well as grant or revoke membership in them. However, to create, alter, drop, or change membership of a superuser role, superuser status is required; `+CREATEROLE+` is insufficient for that.
[.term]#initiating replication::
  A role must explicitly be given permission to initiate streaming replication (except for superusers, since those bypass all permission checks). A role used for streaming replication must have `+LOGIN+` permission as well. To create such a role, use `+CREATE ROLE +`_`+name+`_`+ REPLICATION LOGIN+`.
[.term]#password::
  A password is only significant if the client authentication method requires the user to supply a password when connecting to the database. The `+password+` and `+md5+` authentication methods make use of passwords. Database passwords are separate from operating system passwords. Specify a password upon role creation with `+CREATE ROLE +`_`+name+`_`+ PASSWORD '+`_`+string+`_`+'+`.
[.term]#inheritance of privileges::
  A role is given permission to inherit the privileges of roles it is a member of, by default. However, to create a role without the permission, use `+CREATE ROLE +`_`+name+`_`+ NOINHERIT+`.
[.term]#bypassing row-level security::
  A role must be explicitly given permission to bypass every row-level security (RLS) policy (except for superusers, since those bypass all permission checks). To create such a role, use `+CREATE ROLE +`_`+name+`_`+ BYPASSRLS+` as a superuser.
[.term]#connection limit::
  Connection limit can specify how many concurrent connections a role can make. -1 (the default) means no limit. Specify connection limit upon role creation with `+CREATE ROLE +`_`+name+`_`+ CONNECTION LIMIT '+`_`+integer+`_`+'+`.
