The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/role-membership.html
Description:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/role-membership.html
it says
"Once the group role exists, you can add and remove members using the GRANT
and REVOKE commands:
GRANT group_role TO role1, ... ;
REVOKE group_role FROM role1, ... ;"
how can you add members to a newly created group role using the above
command? shouldn't it be GRANT group_role TO user1 ??

Well, users and groups are both roles. The sentence says below this:
You can grant membership to other group roles, too (since there isn't
really any distinction between group roles and non-group roles).
meaning you can grant group role membership to user and other group
roles.
