- .TH "CREATE USER" SQL 01/26/98 PostgreSQL PostgreSQL
- .SH NAME
- create user -- create a new user within a PostgreSQL instance
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .nf
- fBcreate user <username>
- [fBwith passwordfR password]
- [fBcreatedbfR | fBnocreatedbfR]
- [fBcreateuserfR | fBnocreateuserfR]
- [fBin groupfR group-1, ..., group-n]
- [fBvalid until 'fRabstimefB'fR]
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .BR "create user"
- will add a new user to an instance of PostgreSQL. The new user will be
- given a usesysid of 'SELECT max(usesysid) + 1 FROM pg_shadow'. This means
- that a PostgreSQL user's usesysid will not correspond to their operating
- system(OS) user id. The exception to this rule is the 'postgres' user,
- whose OS user id is used as the usesysid during the initdb process. If
- you still want the OS user id and the usesysid to match for any given
- user, then use the createuser(1) script provided with the PostgreSQL
- distribution.
- The 'with password' clause sets the user's password within the pg_shadow
- relation. For this reason, pg_shadow is no longer accessible to the
- 'public' group. Please note that when initdb(1) is executed for an
- instance of PostgreSQL that the postgres user's password is initially set
- to NULL. When a user's password in the pg_shadow relation is NULL, then
- user authentication proceeds as it historically has (HBA, PG_PASSWORD,
- etc). However, if a password is set for a user, then a new authentication
- system supplants any other configured for the PostgreSQL instance, and the
- password stored in the pg_shadow relation is used for authentication. For
- more details on how this authentication system functions see pg_crypt(3).
- If the 'with password' clause is omitted, then the user's password is set
- to the empty string with equates to a NULL value in the authentication
- system mentioned above.
- The createdb/nocreatedb clause defines a user's ability to create
- databases. If createdb is specified, then the user being defined will be
- allowed to create his/her own databases. Using nocreatedb will deny a
- user the ability to create databases. If this clause is omitted, then
- nocreatedb is used by default.
- The createuser/nocreateuser clause allows/prevents a user from creating
- new users in an instance of PostgreSQL. Omitting this clause will set the
- user's value of this attribute to be nocreateuser.
- At the current time the 'in group' clause is non-functional. The intent
- is to use this clause to affect the groups a user is a member of (as
- defined in the pg_group relation).
- Finally, the 'valid until' clause sets an absolute time after which the
- user's PostgreSQL login is no longer valid. Please note that if a user
- does not have a password defined in the pg_shadow relation, then the valid
- until date will not be checked during user authentication. If this clause
- is omitted, then a NULL value is stored in pg_shadow for this attribute, and
- the login will be valid for all time.
