This has nothing to do with your problem, but don't do this. Normal
users should not be in group "postgres". That gives them access to some
files which are not readable by the public. It might be useful for
administrators, but AFAICS your test users aren't supposed to be that.

And is there a reason for posgres to be in group sudo?
