Well role=group_read_only means this:

psql -d database -h host -U user1

effectively becomes:

psql -d database -h host -U user1

log in as user1 then

SET ROLE group_read_only;

which results in

session_user: user1

current_user: group_read_only.

user_1 being a member of group_read_only does not automatically change
the current_user to group_read_only. This happened because it was
explicitly set up do this.
