-- TODO: Because pg_authid is shared across databases, find a way to ensure I cover all configured connections exactly once
pg_authid	"The catalog pg_authid contains information about database authorization identifiers (roles). A role subsumes the concepts of 'users' and 'groups'. A user is essentially just a role with the rolcanlogin flag set. Any role (with or without rolcanlogin) may have other roles as members; see pg_auth_members. Since this catalog contains passwords, it must not be publicly readable. pg_roles is a publicly readable view on pg_authid that blanks out the password field. Because user identities are cluster-wide, pg_authid is shared across all databases of a cluster: there is only one copy of pg_authid per cluster, not one per database."
