+  <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> manages database access permissions
+  using the concept of <em class="firstterm">roles</em>.  A role can be thought of as
+  either a database user, or a group of database users, depending on how
+  the role is set up.  Roles can own database objects (for example, tables
+  and functions) and can assign privileges on those objects to other roles to
+  control who has access to which objects.  Furthermore, it is possible
+  to grant <em class="firstterm">membership</em> in a role to another role, thus
+  allowing the member role to use privileges assigned to another role.
+ </p><p>
+  The concept of roles subsumes the concepts of <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">users</span>”</span> and
+  <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">groups</span>”</span>.  In <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> versions
+  before 8.1, users and groups were distinct kinds of entities, but now
+  there are only roles.  Any role can act as a user, a group, or both.
+ </p><p>
+  This chapter describes how to create and manage roles.
+  More information about the effects of role privileges on various
+  database objects can be found in <a class="xref" href="ddl-priv.html" title="5.7. Privileges">Section 5.7</a>.
