Re: Adding users?

It is at that!

You need to make a new connection, and that will give you the option to specify your new username. Use the "plug" icon or "File" > "Add server" to make a new connection.

Subject: Re: [pgadmin-support] Adding users?

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!
