+The fundamental function of the module is to create, or delete, roles from a PostgreSQL cluster. 
+Privilege assignment, or removal, is an optional step, which works on one database at a time.
+This allows for the module to be called several times in the same module to modify the permissions on 
+different databases, or to grant permissions to already existing users. 
+
+A user cannot be removed untill all the privileges have been stripped from the user. In such situation,
+if the module tries to remove the user it will fail. To avoid this from happening the *fail_on_user* option
+signals the module to try to remove the user, but if not possible keep going; the module will report if changes
+happened and separately if the user was removed or not.
+
+Example privileges string format:
+    
+    INSERT,UPDATE/table:SELECT/anothertable:ALL
