To drop a superuser role, you must be a superuser yourself; to drop non\-superuser roles, you must have +CREATEROLE +privilege and have been granted +ADMIN OPTION +on the role\&. +.PP +A role cannot be removed if it is still referenced in any database of the cluster; an error will be raised if so\&. Before dropping the role, you must drop all the objects it owns (or reassign their ownership) and revoke any privileges the role has been granted on other objects\&. The +\fBREASSIGN OWNED\fR +and +\fBDROP OWNED\fR +commands can be useful for this purpose; see +Section\ \&22.4 +for more discussion\&. +.PP +However, it is not necessary to remove role memberships involving the role; +\fBDROP ROLE\fR +automatically revokes any memberships of the target role in other roles, and of other roles in the target role\&.
