This documentation is for an unsupported version of PostgreSQL.
You may want to view the same page for the
current
version, or one of the other supported versions listed above instead.
This catalog defines groups and stores what users belong to
what groups. Groups are created with the CREATE GROUP command. Consult the Administrator's Guide for information about user
permission management.
Because user and group identities are cluster-wide, pg_group is shared across all databases of a
cluster: there is only one copy of pg_group per cluster, not one per database.
