Scenario:

Converging a recipe to create a user.

Steps to Reproduce:

Recipe includes this:

postgresql_user 'testuser1' do
   user 'testuser1'
   password node['password']
   action :create
   sensitive false
 end

Expected Result:

• According to documentation, this will create a user called testuser1
• According to code, this uses the testuser1 for logging in an applying the change to create testuser1

Actual Result:

• I'm going to guess that the documentation should be updated to utilize the property create_user

Yeah looks like the documentation is misleading here, user is the connection user, and createuser is the user that gets created, so the above code will try and connect to the database using the user you're about to connect with.

I think, the user property should probably get rename, connect_user or something similar :)
