The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/predefined-roles.html Description: roles that have the CREATEROLE privilege can no longer GRANT predefined roles unless they are part of it having the WITH ADMIN option. this needs to be corrected in the documentation https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/predefined-roles.html
