Yeah, this is still on my list of things to research more about 
eventually - currently still unsolved.

For my use-case the NO RESET would need to apply until the end of the 
transaction, not end of the session.

I imagine something like an extension, that would:
- block any SET SESSION ROLE
- block any RESET ROLE
- only allow SET LOCAL ROLE when CURRENT_USER has the right to do so

Then the effect of SET LOCAL ROLE would still be reversed at the end of 
the transaction, but you could never "escape" a SET LOCAL ROLE that was 
set earlier.

Best,

Wolfgang
