There is a '-s' option for createuser that designates the user account as a superuser.

You can use 'alter user' or 'alter role' to give superuser authority to an existing account:

alter user [account name] with superuser;

I think the superuser role applies to all databases.

SUPERUSER cant be GRANTed, it's done with ALTER USER instead..

ALTER USER fred WITH SUPERUSER.

as a superuser fred can now do anything that other superusers (eg, "postgres")
can do. ( ie: create users, etc..) if you don't want that you may instead want
to grant fred the role of the database ownwer,

assuming the database owner is "dave"

GRANT dave TO fred;

use WITH ADMIN OPTION at the end if you want to let fred invite bill
to the party too.
