CREATE USER (Deprecated)

CREATE USER is deprecated and supported for backwards compatibility only. Use ROLE for authentication and authorization.

CREATE USER defines a new database user account. By default, users accounts do not have SUPERUSER status. Only a superuser can issue CREATE USER requests.

User accounts are required for logging in under internal authentication and authorization.

Enclose the user name in single quotation marks if it contains non-alphanumeric characters. You cannot re-create an existing user. To change the superuser status, password or hashed password, use ALTER USER.

Synopsis

CREATE USER [ IF NOT EXISTS ] <user_name>
  ( WITH PASSWORD '<user_password>' |
  WITH HASHED PASSWORD '<hashed_user_password>' )
  [ ( SUPERUSER | NOSUPERUSER ) ] ;

Legend
Syntax conventions	Description
UPPERCASE	Literal keyword.
Lowercase	Not literal.
`< >`	Variable value. Replace with a user-defined value.
`[]`	Optional. Square brackets (`[]`) surround optional command arguments. Do not type the square brackets.
`( )`	Group. Parentheses ( `( )` ) identify a group to choose from. Do not type the parentheses.
`\|`	Or. A vertical bar (`\|`) separates alternative elements. Type any one of the elements. Do not type the vertical bar.
`...`	Repeatable. An ellipsis ( `...` ) indicates that you can repeat the syntax element as often as required.
`'<Literal string>'`	Single quotation (`'`) marks must surround literal strings in CQL statements. Use single quotation marks to preserve upper case.
`{ <key> : <value> }`	Map collection. Braces (`{ }`) enclose map collections or key value pairs. A colon separates the key and the value.
`<<datatype1>,<datatype2>>`	Set, list, map, or tuple. Angle brackets ( `< >` ) enclose data types in a set, list, map, or tuple. Separate the data types with a comma.
`<cql_statement>;`	End CQL statement. A semicolon (`;`) terminates all CQL statements.
`[--]`	Separate the command line options from the command arguments with two hyphens ( `--` ). This syntax is useful when arguments might be mistaken for command line options.
`' <<schema\> ... </schema\>> '`	Search CQL only: Single quotation marks (`'`) surround an entire XML schema declaration.
`@<xml_entity>='<xml_entity_type>'`	Search CQL only: Identify the entity and literal value to overwrite the XML element in the schema and solrConfig files.

Example

Use WITH PASSWORD to create a user account for internal authentication, enclosing the password in single quotation marks:

CREATE USER spillman WITH PASSWORD 'Niner27';

If internal authentication has not been set up, WITH PASSWORD is not required:

CREATE USER tony NOSUPERUSER;
