Please refer to this scenario where I am able to give createrole privileges but not replication privilege to role postgres=# create role t1 createrole; CREATE ROLE postgres=# create role t2 replication; CREATE ROLE postgres=# create role t3; CREATE ROLE postgres=# grant t3 to t1,t2 with admin option; GRANT ROLE postgres=# set session authorization t1; SET *postgres=> alter role t3 createrole ;ALTER ROLE* postgres=> set session authorization t2; SET postgres=> alter role t3 replication; ERROR: permission denied This same behavior was observed in v14 as well but why i am able to give createrole grant but not replication? regards,
