In particular, the expiration time is not enforced when logging in using a non-password-based authentication method. </P ><P > The <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >INHERIT</TT > attribute governs inheritance of grantable privileges (that is, access privileges for database objects and role memberships). It does not apply to the special role attributes set by <TT CLASS="COMMAND" >CREATE ROLE</TT > and <TT CLASS="COMMAND" >ALTER ROLE</TT >. For example, being a member of a role with <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >CREATEDB</TT > privilege does not immediately grant the ability to create databases, even if <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >INHERIT</TT > is set; it would be necessary to become that role via <A HREF="sql-set-role.html" >SET ROLE</A > before creating a database. </P ><P > The <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >INHERIT</TT > attribute is the default for reasons of backwards compatibility: in prior releases of <SPAN CLASS="PRODUCTNAME" >PostgreSQL</SPAN >, users always had access to all privileges of groups they were members of. However, <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >NOINHERIT</TT > provides a closer match to the semantics specified in the SQL standard. </P ><P > Be careful with the <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >CREATEROLE</TT > privilege. There is no concept of inheritance for the privileges of a <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >CREATEROLE</TT >-role. That means that even if a role does not have a certain privilege but is allowed to create other roles, it can easily create another role with different privileges than its own (except for creating roles with superuser privileges). For example, if the role <SPAN CLASS="QUOTE" >"user"</SPAN > has the <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >CREATEROLE</TT > privilege but not the <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >CREATEDB</TT > privilege, nonetheless it can create a new role with the <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >CREATEDB</TT > privilege. Therefore, regard roles that have the <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >CREATEROLE</TT > privilege as almost-superuser-roles. </P ><P > <SPAN CLASS="PRODUCTNAME" >PostgreSQL</SPAN > includes a program <A HREF="app-createuser.html" ><SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >createuser</SPAN ></A > that has the same functionality as <TT CLASS="COMMAND" >CREATE ROLE</TT > (in fact, it calls this command) but can be run from the command shell. </P ><P > The <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >CONNECTION LIMIT</TT > option is only enforced approximately; if two new sessions start at about the same time when just one connection <SPAN CLASS="QUOTE" >"slot"</SPAN > remains for the role, it is possible that both will fail. Also, the limit is never enforced for superusers. </P ><P > Caution must be exercised when specifying an unencrypted password with this command. The password will be transmitted to the server in cleartext, and it might also be logged in the client's command history or the server log. The command <A HREF="app-createuser.html" ><SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >createuser</SPAN ></A >, however, transmits the password encrypted. Also, <A HREF="app-psql.html" ><SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >psql</SPAN ></A > contains a command <TT CLASS="COMMAND" >\password</TT > that can be used to safely change the password later. </P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="REFSECT1" ><A NAME="AEN69941" ></A ><H2 >Examples</H2 ><P > Create a role that can log in, but don't give it a password: </P><PRE CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING" >CREATE ROLE jonathan LOGIN;</PRE ><P> </P ><P > Create a role with a password: </P><PRE CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING" >CREATE USER davide WITH PASSWORD 'jw8s0F4';</PRE ><P> (<TT CLASS="COMMAND" >CREATE USER</TT > is the same as <TT CLASS="COMMAND" >CREATE ROLE</TT > except that it implies <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >LOGIN</TT >.) </P ><P > Create a role with a password that is valid until the end of 2004.
