# postgresql_passchanger_function
# PostgreSQL expiration date management functions
## Description
This project tries to find a way to allow users the management of the `VALID UNTIL` expiration clause by themself.
All without granting `super` permissions and having a histoc of changes on a _pseudo-audit_ table
## Instructions
### First deploy
Deploy `passchanger.sql` on the desired cluster/database.
It will:
* create a `dba` schema
* create a `dba` role
* Grant the minimum permissions for this new role so the whole thing works
* Create the 2 needed functions and grant permissions on them to `dba`
### Allowing users to use that functions
Take the file `grants_to_grant.sql` and modify the username _dodger_ so it match the username that should have the permissions.
Execute the grants on the cluster/database you have deployed `passchanger.sql`
### Changint password & extending expiration date
