https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-alterrole.html
Whenever the role subsequently starts a new session, the specified value
becomes the session default, overriding whatever setting is present in
postgresql.conf or has been received from the postgres command line.
This only happens at login time; executing SET ROLE or SET SESSION
AUTHORIZATION does not cause new configuration values to be set.
Settings set for all databases are overridden by database-specific
settings attached to a role. Settings for specific databases or specific
roles override settings for all roles.
