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

database username if different from config or default
user password if any password for a specified user
Database host if different from config or default
Database port if different from config or default
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.
The name of the system user to manage.
Is the user allowed to create databases?
Is the user allowed to create other users?
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
Should the group have login perm
Should the group inherit permissions
Should the new user be a "superuser"
Should the new user be allowed to initiate streaming replication
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.
The password used only when creating the user, unless password is set.
New in version 2016.3.0.
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
A date and time after which the role's password is no longer valid.
