List users and Roles (Since the concepts of “users” and “groups” have been unified into “roles”, this command is now equivalent to \dg.) )

Lists database roles. (Since the concepts of “users” and “groups” have been unified into “roles”, this command is now equivalent to \dg.) By default, only user-created roles are shown; supply the S modifier to include system roles. If pattern is specified, only those roles whose names match the pattern are listed. If the form \du+ is used, additional information is shown about each role; currently this adds the comment for each role.


List roles using \du command:
