Hello David thanks for attention,

CREATE USER "user" NOCREATEDB NOCREATEUSER NOINHERIT ENCRYPTED PASSWORD

CREATE DATABASE "database" WITH OWNER "user"

The user creating the db is not psql default. Is a user who creates dbs on
server and have the roles creatdb and create role. Can i give to this user
a superuser privilege?

Sorry for the noob questions, but i'm new on postgres and have this thing
to resolve. Is a legacy system on the company.

Sorry for the top-posting. now it's correct?

Hi macros,
The user issuing the CREATE DATABASE must be
a member of the role that will be the owner of the
database.

Compare the below example:
postgres=> CREATE ROLE o;

CREATE ROLE

postgres=> CREATE DATABASE d OWNER = o;
ERROR: must be member of role "o"

postgres=> GRANT o TO root;GRANT ROLE

postgres=> CREATE DATABASE d OWNER = o;CREATE DATABASE
