           | ROLE role_name [, ...]

DESCRIPTION
       CREATE USER is now an alias for CREATE ROLE. The only difference is
       that when the command is spelled CREATE USER, LOGIN is assumed by
       default, whereas NOLOGIN is assumed when the command is spelled CREATE
       ROLE.

COMPATIBILITY
       The CREATE USER statement is a PostgreSQL extension. The SQL standard
       leaves the definition of users to the implementation.
