Both things fail for me:
regression=# create user admin with createrole createdb; CREATE ROLE regression=# \c - admin You are now connected to database "regression" as user "admin". regression=> CREATE USER my_user WITH PASSWORD 'my-user-password'; CREATE ROLE regression=> CREATE DATABASE my_database WITH OWNER=my_user; ERROR: must be able to SET ROLE "my_user" regression=> CREATE DATABASE my_database; CREATE DATABASE regression=> ALTER DATABASE my_database OWNER TO my_user; ERROR: must be able to SET ROLE "my_user"
