test=# create role testrole superuser; CREATE ROLE test=# \du List of roles Role name | Superuser | Create role | Create DB | Connections | Member of -----------+-----------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------- testrole | yes | no | no | no limit | test=# alter role testrole nosuperuser; ALTER ROLE test=# \du List of roles Role name | Superuser | Create role | Create DB | Connections | Member of -----------+-----------+-------------+-----------+-------------+----------- testrole | no | no | no | no limit | So a superuser which has not been explicitly created with "createuser" and "create DB" privileges will become a no privilege while losing the status superuser. If created with the Unix command createuser, he won't.
