In order for anyone else to use <b>postgreSQL</b>, +users must be added. The program <samp>createuser</samp> accomplishes this. +First become the PostgreSQL administrator (usually <samp>postgres</samp>):<p> +<samp>su postgres</samp><p> +Then create a new user:<p> +<samp>createuser jim<br> +Enter user's postgres ID or RETURN to use unix user ID: 500 -><br> +Is user "jim" allowed to create databases (y/n) y<br> +Is user "jim" a superuser?

See +the <b>postgreSQL</b> documentation in the "admin" section for a fuller +account of users and groups.<p> +The reason for using the command line to create the first user (other than +<em>postgres</em>) is that <em>postgres</em> may not have X-Window permission. +You can also create users using <b>PgAccess</b> if you are created as a +<em>superuser</em> as shown in the example above.<p> +<h2>Removing users</h2> +To remove users, use the <samp>destroyuser</samp> command in the same way.<p> +<a href="index.html#tut">Back to index</a> +</body></html> |
