Ray,
PostgreSQL has a very powerful implementation of the ROLE/privileges model. Its control can be very granular, and very intricate! You really want to review your application's privileges/security needs before doing GRANTs with abandon.
To get what you need, though, the 'db user' simply needs the CREATEROLE privilege set.

Subject: [ADMIN] create role?
I have a app where the install guide says to give a db user the ability to create roles.
"Ensure that the user has permission to create database objects and can create roles."
How is that done...elegantly? Seems like the oracle idea of a role.
