Hi!

>Can you connect as user postgres? IE: psql -U postgres -d <yourdb>

Applicaton has admin users which should be able to delete other users.
Those users dont have superuser rights.

I can connect as user postgres for testing only.
I'm looking for a way to delete users without superuser right.

>If so, then you should have the ability to execute the commands without any

I tried in database ktp :

reassign owned by farukkugay to postgres;
drop user farukkugay ;

This causes error

ERROR:  role "farukkugay" cannot be dropped because some objects depend on
it
DETAIL:  privileges for schema public

So even superuser cannot delete.
