salt.states.postgres_user

Management of PostgreSQL users (roles)

The postgres_users module is used to create and manage Postgres users.

frank:
  postgres_user.present

salt.states.postgres_user.absent(name, user=None, maintenance_db=None, db_password=None, db_host=None, db_port=None, db_user=None)

Ensure that the named user is absent

name

The username of the user to remove

user

System user all operations should be performed on behalf of

New in version 0.17.0.

db_user

database username if different from config or default

db_password

user password if any password for a specified user

db_host

Database host if different from config or default

db_port

Database port if different from config or default

salt.states.postgres_user.present(name, createdb=None, createroles=None, encrypted=None, superuser=None, replication=None, inherit=None, login=None, password=None, default_password=None, refresh_password=None, valid_until=None, groups=None, user=None, maintenance_db=None, db_password=None, db_host=None, db_port=None, db_user=None)

Ensure that the named user is present with the specified privileges Please note that the user/group notion in postgresql is just abstract, we have roles, where users can be seen as roles with the LOGIN privilege and groups the others.

name

The name of the system user to manage.

createdb

Is the user allowed to create databases?

createroles

Is the user allowed to create other users?

encrypted

How the password should be stored.

If encrypted is None, True, or md5, it will use PostgreSQL's MD5 algorithm.

If encrypted is False, it will be stored in plaintext.

If encrypted is scram-sha-256, it will use the algorithm described in RFC 7677.

Changed in version 3003: Prior versions only supported True and False

login

Should the group have login perm

inherit

Should the group inherit permissions

superuser

Should the new user be a "superuser"

replication

Should the new user be allowed to initiate streaming replication

password

The user's password. It can be either a plain string or a pre-hashed password:

'md5{MD5OF({password}{role}}'
'SCRAM-SHA-256${iterations}:{salt}${stored_key}:{server_key}'

If encrypted is not False, then the password will be converted to the appropriate format above, if not already. As a consequence, passwords that start with "md5" or "SCRAM-SHA-256" cannot be used.

default_password

The password used only when creating the user, unless password is set.

New in version 2016.3.0.

refresh_password

Password refresh flag

Boolean attribute to specify whether to password comparison check should be performed.

If refresh_password is True, the password will be automatically updated without extra password change check.

This behaviour makes it possible to execute in environments without superuser access available, e.g. Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL

valid_until

A date and time after which the role's password is no longer valid.

groups

A string of comma separated groups the user should be in

user

System user all operations should be performed on behalf of

New in version 0.17.0.

db_user

Postgres database username, if different from config or default.

db_password

Postgres user's password, if any password, for a specified db_user.

db_host

Postgres database host, if different from config or default.

db_port

Postgres database port, if different from config or default.
