Description

The SET ROLE statement enables a role, along with all of its associated permissions, for the current session. To unset a role, use NONE .

If a role that doesn't exist, or to which the user has not been assigned, is specified, an ERROR 1959 (OP000): Invalid role specification error occurs.

An automatic SET ROLE is implicitly performed when a user connects if that user has been assigned a default role. See SET DEFAULT ROLE.
