CREATE USER is now an alias for
CREATE ROLE,
which see for more information.
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.
