    default role

    Will the user need to enter the password or will it be enabled when a user connects to the database, without requiring the user to specify the roles' passwords.

    Thanks

    If it's users default role it will be enabled automaticaly uppon loggon, no password will be required. But in case the role will be disabled during the session and the user will want to enable it again, he will need a password to do it.
