[Mapbender_dev] On users, groups and roles

Hi,
only informational: just stumbled on this remark while testing MB trunk
install with a low-priviledged user. Somehow this relates to our
discussion yesterday re: users, groups, permissions and roles:

As of PostgreSQL 8.1, the concepts of users and groups have been unified
into a single kind of entity called a role. It is therefore no longer
necessary to use the keyword GROUP to identify whether a grantee is a
user or a group. GROUP is still allowed in the command, but it is a
noise word. (From [1])

Best regards,
Arnulf
