Hello,

        Is there a way to temporarily suspend a user account?

        I would prefer not to revoke login privileges since that will break
things that mine pg_users and pg_shadow.

        I also am trying to find something that is completely reversible, so
something like setting connection limit to 0, which would lose a
potentially customized connection limit, doesn’t work.

        We do this in MySQL by reversing the password hash then running FLUSH
PRIVILEGES; however, that doesn’t seem to work in PostgreSQL/pg_authid
as some sort of cache prevents this from taking effect.

        Has anyone else solved this issue? Thank you!

Personally untested:

ALTER ROLE role_name VALID UNTIL 'timestamp' --i.e., set that to sometime in
the past


This doesn’t work, either, because it will clobber any custom expiration time for the role …

-FG
