Oh sorry about posting in the wrong forum. You are perfectly right. How do I navigate to join the novice forum? I will bookmark the link for future reference. Thanks for the explanation. I will post all future questions in the novice forum, once I find out how to join.

Users are the same thing as roles, pretty much. A user is a role with the LOGIN attribute ... roles with the NOLOGIN attribute correspond to what we used to call groups. You can find more about that in the docs: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/user-manag.html
BTW, not to be impolite, but day-zero questions belong on pgsql-novice not pgsql-admin.
