       must exist.

DESCRIPTION
  ALTER GROUP is used to add or remove users from a group. Only database
  superusers can use this command.  Adding a user to a group does not create
  the user. Similarly, removing a user from a group does not drop the user
  itself.

  Use CREATE GROUP [create_group(5)] to create a new group and DROP GROUP
  [drop_group(5)] to remove a group.

USAGE
  Add users to a group:

  ALTER GROUP staff ADD USER karl, john;

  Remove a user from a group:

  ALTER GROUP workers DROP USER beth;

COMPATIBILITY
  SQL92

  There is no ALTER GROUP statement in SQL92. The concept of roles is
  similar.
