Subject: User with BYPASSRLS privilege can't change password
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2020 16:51:07 +0100
Message-ID: <a5548a9f-89ee-3167-129d-162b5985fcf8@technowledgy.de> (raw)

Hi,

observed on PG12.4:

CREATE USER alice;
SET ROLE alice;
ALTER USER alice PASSOWRD 'x';
-- works

RESET ROLE;

CREATE USER bob BYPASSRLS;
SET ROLE bob;
ALTER USER bob PASSWORD 'x';
-- ERROR: must be superuser to change bypassrls attribute

I would expect bob to be able to change his password here.

Best

Wolfgang
