Create a Superuser in postgres


Solved with:

sudo -u postgres createuser -s -i -d -r -l -w <<username>>sudo -u postgres psql -c "ALTER ROLE <<username>> WITH PASSWORD '<<password>>';"

I know is not an elegant solution, but for now it'll do 😊


Do it in a single statement within psql:

CREATE ROLE username WITH LOGIN SUPERUSER PASSWORD 'password';

e.g

CREATE ROLE dummy WITH LOGIN SUPERUSER PASSWORD '123456';


To create a PostgreSQL user, follow these steps:At the command line, type the following command as the server's root user:

su - postgres

You can now run commands as the PostgreSQL superuser.To create a user, type the following command:

createuser --interactive --pwpromptAt the Enter name of role to add: prompt, type the user's name.At the Enter password for new role: prompt, type a password for the user.At the Enter it again: prompt, retype the password.At the Shall the new role be a superuser? prompt, type y if you want to grant superuser access. Otherwise, type n.At the Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? prompt, type y if you want to allow the user to create new databases. Otherwise, type n.At the Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? prompt, type y if you want to allow the user to create new users. Otherwise, type n.

PostgreSQL creates the user with the settings you specified.
