Deactivate postgres user account


You might also consider ALTER USER someone WITH NOLOGIN; which is probably the right solution if you have multiple databases in the same back-end and want to block the user entirely.

To lock an account:

# Lock an accountALTER USER someone WITH NOLOGIN;

To unlock an account:

# Un-lock an accountALTER USER someone WITH LOGIN;

Check account is locked or not:

select rolcanlogin from pg_roles where rolname='database_user';OUTPUT:rolcanlogin------------- f(1 row)f = false # Can not logint = true # Can login


Take a look at the REVOKE command.

In order for a user to connect to a database he has been granted the CONNECT privilege.Just REVOKE this privilege and he won't be able to use this database.
