Um, after the table has been created no, but you can set up users and
accounts, so as you, try (in ksh, not sure about others)
PGUSER=postgres PGPASSWORD=postgres psql template1
then
create user www with password "www";
then when you want to run scripts, or connect then you can with
PGUSER=www PGPASSSWORD=www psql -f filename.sql webdb
or interactively
PGUSER=www PGPASSSWORD=www psql webdb
