CREATE ROLE#
Synopsis#
CREATE ROLE role_name
[ WITH ADMIN ( user | USER user | ROLE role | CURRENT_USER | CURRENT_ROLE ) ]
[ IN catalog ]
Description#
CREATE ROLE creates the specified role.
The optional WITH ADMIN clause causes the role to be created with
the specified user as a role admin. A role admin has permission to drop
or grant a role. If the optional WITH ADMIN clause is not
specified, the role is created with current user as admin.
The optional IN catalog clause creates the role in a catalog as opposed
to a system role.
Examples#
Create role admin
CREATE ROLE admin;
Create role moderator with admin bob:
CREATE ROLE moderator WITH ADMIN USER bob;
