Doc: explain how to test ADMIN privilege with pg_has_role().

Browse Source

and our user-facing docs were not very helpful.  Spell it out

the role (that is, the right to do <command>SET ROLE</command>), while
<literal>USAGE</literal> denotes whether the privileges of the role
are immediately available without doing <command>SET ROLE</command>.
<literal>WITH ADMIN OPTION</literal> or <literal>WITH GRANT
OPTION</literal> can be added to either of these privilege types to
test whether the <literal>ADMIN</literal> privilege is held (all
four spellings test the same thing).
This function does not allow the special case of
setting <parameter>user</parameter> to <literal>public</literal>,
because the PUBLIC pseudo-role can never be a member of real roles.
