Reassigning objects and dropping users

After assigning permissions and restricting access, it can happen that users will be dropped from the system. Unsurprisingly, the commands to do that are the DROP ROLE and DROP USER commands:

test=# \h DROP ROLE
Command: DROP ROLE
Description: remove a database role
Syntax:
DROP ROLE [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...]

Let's give it a try. The following listing shows how this works:

test=# DROP ROLE joe; 
ERROR:  role  "joe"  cannot be dropped because some  objects depend on it 
DETAIL:  target of policy joe_pol_3 on table t_person  
target of policy joe_pol_2 on table t_person 
target of policy joe_pol_1 on table t_person  
privileges for table t_person 
owner of table t_user 
owner of sequence t_user_id_seq 
owner of default privileges on new relations belonging to role joe in schema...
