System Catalogs Definitions - pg_roles - 《Greenplum Database v6.23 Documentation》

The view pg_roles provides access to information about database roles. This is simply a publicly readable view of pg_authid that blanks out the password field. This view explicitly exposes the OID column of the underlying table, since that is needed to do joins to other catalogs.

`rolname`	name		Role name
`rolsuper`	bool		Role has superuser privileges
`rolinherit`	bool		Role automatically inherits privileges of roles it is a member of
`rolcreaterole`	bool		Role may create more roles
`rolcreatedb`	bool		Role may create databases
`rolcatupdate`	bool		Role may update system catalogs directly. (Even a superuser may not do this unless this column is true.)
`rolcanlogin`	bool		Role may log in. That is, this role can be given as the initial session authorization identifier
