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! > On Feb 22, 2016, at 10:54 , Colin Beckingham <col...@kingston.net> wrote: > > On 22/02/16 13:41, Rob Lewis wrote: >> 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.
