Re: enebling regular user to create new users ?

Per-database user, right, that's what I need...hope it will be included in future releases... Separating the power to create new users from the power of being superuser, also. It is very important.
Greetings,

What is possible and what do you suggest ?

Neither is possible directly. (B) means they're not a superuser and (A)
means they are.

There has been some talk of separating the power to create new users
from the power of being superuser (although presumably only a superuser
should be allowed to create new superusers).  If the planned pg_role
rewrite gets submitted before the 8.1 feature freeze, I might look at
adding that frammish into it.

Did I see talk of per-database users too? That would be a sensible
dividing-line I suppose - you could have complete control of "your"
database and who can access it without interfering with anyone else.
