| **IF EXISTS** | Do not return an error if the specified user does not exist.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| *user\_name*  | The user you want to drop.  - You cannot drop the current user;  - To drop a superuser (user with the SUPERUSER privilege), you must be a superuser yourself;  - To drop a non-superuser, you must have the CREATEUSER privilege. - The `rwadmin` user cannot be dropped as it is reserved for cloud control plane operations. |
