## 52.9. `pg_auth_members`

[]()

 The catalog `pg_auth_members` shows the membership relations between roles. Any non-circular set of relationships is allowed.

 Because user identities are cluster-wide, `pg_auth_members` is shared across all databases of a cluster: there is only one copy of `pg_auth_members` per cluster, not one per database.
