Re: How to drop user if objects depend on it

User who deletes other users is not superuser. It is created using

CREATE ROLE admin LOGIN
  NOSUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEDB CREATEROLE NOREPLICATION CONNECTION LIMIT
100;
GRANT idd_owner TO admin;


I tried

REASSIGN OWNED BY vantaa TO postgres;

and

REASSIGN OWNED BY vantaa TO idd_owner;

but got  error

permission denied to reassign objects .

How to fix ?

I can add some rights to user who invokes this command if this helps.
