pg_user_mappings

The pg_user_mappings view provides access to information about user mappings. This view is essentially a public-readble view of the pg_user_mapping system catalog table that omits the options field if the user does not have access rights to view it.

column type references description
umid oid pg_user_mapping.oid OID of the user mapping.
srvid oid pg_foreign_server.oid OID of the foreign server that contains this mapping.
srvname text pg_foreign_server.srvname Name of the foreign server.
umuser oid pg_authid.oid OID of the local role being mapped, 0 if the user mapping is public.
usename name   Name of the local user to be mapped.
umoptions text[]   User mapping-specific options, as “keyword=value” strings.

To protect password information stored as a user mapping option, the umoptions column reads as null unless one of the following applies:

  • The current user is the user being mapped, and owns the server or holds USAGE privilege on it.
  • The current user is the server owner and the mapping is for PUBLIC.
  • The current user is a superuser.
