To create a PostgreSQL database user, do the following:

1. Select PGSQL in the Databases menu and Add PostgreSQL user form automatically appears.

2. Fill the Add PostgreSQL user form on the PostgreSQL Users page.

1. Select PGSQL Users in the Databases menu.

2. Click the Trash icon next to the user name on the PostgreSQL user management page.

To change the user password, do the following:

1. Select PGSQL Users in the Databases menu.
