Here's a function I've written in SQL:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_roles_under(OID)
RETURNS SETOF OID
LANGUAGE sql
AS $$
SELECT
$1
UNION
SELECT
member
FROM
pg_catalog.pg_auth_members
WHERE
roleid = $1
UNION
SELECT
get_roles_over(roleid) AS "roleid"
FROM
pg_catalog.pg_auth_members
WHERE
roleid IN (
SELECT
member
FROM
pg_catalog.pg_auth_members
WHERE
roleid = $1
)
$$;
Cheers,
