Creating a PostgreSQL user

 

Overview

You need to create a PostgreSQL user before that user is able to use the database. This does not automatically allow the user to use a database - you need to grant that user permission to the specific database first. Refer to Grant a user's permissions to a PostgreSQL database for more information.

 

 

 

Steps

1 To access the Postgres Account Maintenance Menu, click on the    icon above the words PostgreSQL Databases on the main screen of your cPanel interface.

2 Enter the name of the new user in the blank field next to UserName:

3 Enter the password for the new user in the blank field next to Password:

4 Click on Add User to create the new user.
