From cf9f6b4688626e8d0682f96879325019d39c9794 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2024 15:56:34 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Doc: explain how to test ADMIN privilege with pg_has_role(). This has always been possible, but the syntax is a bit obscure, and our user-facing docs were not very helpful. Spell it out more clearly. Per complaint from Dominique Devienne. Back-patch to all supported branches.
