Egg in the face time. I knew it was going to be one of those...
CREATE ROLE --DOES NOT EQUAL-- CREATE USER
Whereas the latter implies LOGIN priv, the former does not.
I'd read about LOGIN auto-implied some time ago, but I'd not noticed
that is not so w/ a created ROLE.
Maybe you can smell the sulfur from where you are?

Are you saying that IT'S confused and I should go all lower or use
quotes (") not (')?
Well, you can do it either way.
If you want the database to be really truly named "LabNews_dev"
(mixed case) then you need to create it using the quotes, and then
you'll have to use quotes *every* time you name it in SQL commands,
and you'll have to be careful to use the mixed-case spelling in
other contexts such as pg_hba.conf and psql command arguments.
If you are okay with it really being named "labnews_dev" then you
won't need quotes in your SQL commands, but you'll have to spell
it in all lower case in pg_hba.conf and psql command arguments.
