Only users with \*(lqusesuper\*(rq set in -the \*(lqpg_user\*(rq class can create new Postgres users. As shipped, -the user \*(lqpostgres\*(rq can create users. -.PP -.IR Createuser -is a shell script that invokes -.IR psql . -Hence, a -.IR postmaster -process must be running on the database server host before -.IR createuser -is executed. In addition, the -.SM PGOPTION -and -.SM PGREALM -environment -variables will be passed on to -.IR psql -and processed as described in -.IR psql (1). -.PP -The optional argument -.IR username -specifies the name of the Postgres user to be created. (The invoker will -be prompted for a name if none is specified on the command line.) -This name must be unique among all Postgres users. -.PP -.IR Createuser -understands the following command-line options: -.TP 5n -.BR "-a" " system" -Specifies an authentication system -.IR "system" -(see -.IR introduction (1)) -to use in connecting to the -.IR postmaster -process. The default is site-specific. -.TP -.BR "-h" " host" -Specifies the hostname of the machine on which the -.IR postmaster -is running. Defaults to the name of the local host, or the value of -the -.SM PGHOST -environment variable (if set). -.TP -.BR "-p" " port" -Specifies the Internet TCP port on which the -.IR postmaster -is listening for connections. Defaults to 5432, or the value of the -.SM PGPORT -environment variable (if set). -.SH "INTERACTIVE QUESTIONS" -Once invoked with the above options, -.IR createuser -will ask a series of questions. The new users's login name (if not -given on the command line) and user-id must be specified. (Note that -the Postgres user-id must be the same as the user's Unix user-id.) In -addition, you must describe the security capabilities of the new user. -Specifically, you will be asked whether the new user should be able to -act as Postgres super-user, create new databases and update the system -catalogs manually. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -destroyuser(1), -psql(1), -postmaster(1). -.SH DIAGNOSTICS -.TP 5n -.BI "Error: Failed to connect to backend (host=" "xxx" ", port=" "xxx" ")" -.IR Createuser -could not attach to the -.IR postmaster -process on the specified host and port. If you see this message, -ensure that the -.IR postmaster -is running on the proper host and that you have specified the proper -port. If your site uses an authentication system, ensure that you -have obtained the required authentication credentials. -.TP -.BI "user \*(lq" "username" "\*(rq is not in \*(lqpg_user\*(rq" -You do not have a valid entry in the relation \*(lqpg_user\*(rq and -cannot do anything with Postgres at all; contact your Postgres site -administrator. -.TP -.IB "username" " cannot create users." -You do not have permission to create new users; contact your Postgres -site administrator. -.TP -.BI "user \*(lq" "username" "\*(rq already exists" -The user to be added already has an entry in the \*(lqpg_user\*(rq -class. -.TP -.BR "database access failed" -An internal error occurred in -.IR psql -or the backend server. Ensure that your Postgres site administrator has -properly installed Postgres and initialized the site with -.IR initdb . -.SH BUGS -Postgres user-ids and user names should not have anything to do with the -constraints of Unix. |
