To expand on the above and make a quick reference:

To make a user a SuperUser: ALTER USER username WITH SUPERUSER;
To make a user no longer a SuperUser: ALTER USER username WITH NOSUPERUSER;
To just allow the user to create a database: ALTER USER username CREATEDB;

You can also use CREATEROLE and CREATEUSER to allow a user privileges without making them a superuser.

You can create a SUPERUSER or promote USER  so for your case      sudo -u postgres psql -c  ALTER USER myuser WITH SUPERUSER     or rollback      sudo -u postgres psql -c  ALTER USER myuser WITH NOSUPERUSER     To prevent a command from logging when you set password  insert a whitespace in front of it  but check that your system supports this option        sudo -u postgres psql -c  CREATE USER my user WITH PASSWORD  my pass       sudo -u postgres psql -c  CREATE USER my user WITH SUPERUSER PASSWORD  my pass
