45.57. pg_group

Note: The following description applies both to Postgres-XC and PostgreSQL if not described explicitly.

The view pg_group exists for backwards compatibility: it emulates a catalog that existed in PostgreSQL before version 8.1. It shows the names and members of all roles that are marked as not rolcanlogin, which is an approximation to the set of roles that are being used as groups.
