Previously, CREATEROLE users were permitted to make nearly arbitrary changes to roles that they didn't create, with certain exceptions, particularly superuser roles. Instead, allow CREATEROLE users to make such changes to roles for which they possess ADMIN OPTION, and to grant membership only in roles for which they possess ADMIN OPTION. When a CREATEROLE user who is not a superuser creates a role, grant ADMIN OPTION on the newly-created role to the creator, so that they can administer roles they create or for which they have been given privileges. With these changes, CREATEROLE users still have very significant powers that unprivileged users do not receive: they can alter, rename, drop, comment on, change the password for, and change security labels on roles. However, they can now do these things only for roles for which they possess appropriate privileges, rather than all non-superuser roles; moreover, they cannot grant a role such as pg_execute_server_program unless they themselves possess it. Patch by me, reviewed by Mark Dilger. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CA+TgmobN59ct+Emmz6ig1Nua2Q-_o=r6DSD98KfU53kctq_kQw@mail.gmail.com |

PostgreSQL tests ================ This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin. Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see which tests get run automatically. authentication/ Tests for authentication (but see also below) examples/ Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via "make check" isolation/ Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level kerberos/ Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption ldap/ Tests for LDAP-based authentication locale/ Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc mb/ Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support modules/ Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable for installing in production databases perl/ Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests recovery/ Test suite for recovery and replication regress/ PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress ssl/ Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling subscription/ Tests for logical replication
