Thanks, got that done. Now “Login Roles” shows three entries: “postgres”, my Mac account short name, and the one I just created.
Next question: how do I actually use this new role to log into the server? When I give the “Connect” command, all I get is a prompt to enter the password for user “postgres”. I can’t find any way to switch to a different user account.
This is waaaaaay different from phpMyAdmin!

Boy do I feel dumb.
I just installed Postgres.app and pgAdmin3.app on my Mac (El Capitan).
I’ve searched everywhere in the program and the docs and I can’t find out how to simply add a user. Help, please.
Use pgadmin to make a connection to a server on the local machine.
Once the connection is active, right click on the server label.
You should see a "New Object" option, with three alternates, a tablespace, group role and login role.
Read up on what these do, but login role might be what you need.
It needs to be a local server, the same option does not appear for a remote server, at least on my machine.
