postgresql_user: Cannot change user password with session_role in Azure Database.

SUMMARY

Administrative privileges in Azure Database for PostgreSQL are to belong to the azure_pg_admin role. The login user should not have administrative privileges, Specify the role with azure_pg_admin as sesson_role, Password change will result in an error.

Because Azure Database does not have access to pg_authid, If it is rolled back, "SET ROLE" will be disabled, If I change the password with "ALTER USER", it will be "permission denied".
