A schema is a namespace mechanism for objects. It has no relationship to
roles aside from the possibility, if you so choose, to define a schema to
have the same name as a role, in which case that schema becomes parts of
that role's default search_path.
There is no low-level difference between role and user. A user is a role
with the login privilege.
