The SHOW ROLES
statement lists the roles for all databases.
Note:
Since the keywords ROLES
and USERS
can now be used interchangeably in SQL statements for enhanced PostgreSQL compatibility, SHOW ROLES
is now an alias for SHOW USERS
.
Synopsis
Required privileges
The role must have the SELECT
privilege on the system.users
and system.role_members
tables.

> SHOW ROLES;
