    Ensure that the named user is present with the specified privileges
    Please note that the user/group notion in postgresql is just abstract, we
    have roles, where users can be seens as roles with the LOGIN privilege
    and groups the others.

    name
        The name of the system user to manage.

    createdb
        Is the user allowed to create databases?

    createroles
        Is the user allowed to create other users?

    encrypted
        Should the password be encrypted in the system catalog?

    login
        Should the group have login perm

    inherit
        Should the group inherit permissions

    superuser
        Should the new user be a "superuser"

    replication
        Should the new user be allowed to initiate streaming replication

    password
        The system user's password. It can be either a plain string or a
        md5 postgresql hashed password::

            'md5{MD5OF({password}{role}}'

        If encrypted is None or True, the password will be automatically
        encrypted to the previous
        format if it is not already done.

    default_password
        The password used only when creating the user, unless password is set.

        .. versionadded:: 2016.3.0

    refresh_password
        Password refresh flag

        Boolean attribute to specify whether to password comparison check
        should be performed.

        If refresh_password is ``True``, the password will be automatically
        updated without extra password change check.

        This behaviour makes it possible to execute in environments without
        superuser access available, e.g. Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL

    valid_until
        A date and time after which the role's password is no longer valid.

    groups
        A string of comma separated groups the user should be in

    user
        System user all operations should be performed on behalf of

        .. versionadded:: 0.17.0

    db_user
        Postgres database username, if different from config or default.

    db_password
        Postgres user's password, if any password, for a specified db_user.

    db_host
        Postgres database host, if different from config or default.

    db_port
        Postgres database port, if different from config or default.
