  <title>Default Roles Renamed to Predefined Roles</title>

   <indexterm>
     <primary>default-roles</primary>
   </indexterm>

   <para>
    PostgreSQL 13 and below used the term <quote>Default Roles</quote>.  However, as these
    roles are not able to actually be changed and are installed as part of the
    system at initialization time, the more appropriate term to use is <quote>Predefined Roles</quote>.
    See <xref linkend="predefined-roles"/> for current documentation regarding
    Predefined Roles, and <link linkend="release-prior">the release notes for
    PostgreSQL 14</link> for details on this change.
