In Postgres a "role" really is equivalent to a user. A user in Postgres is just a role with the ability to log in.


Yes but I’m presuming the person I was responding to meant “role” in the context you’re talking about, but by “user” they meant a row in some “users” or “customers” table corresponding to their application. Questioning the need to “create role” for every application user.
