There are so many ways to deal with that that it's hard to make a
suggestion without knowing more. You could just use CREATE USER and
GRANT to set things up, you could use trust authentication in the
pg_hba.conf to grant a database superuser permission from a secure
machine, or you could use a pgpass file. (Check the documentation
for details.) If I got creative I could probably come up with more,
but I'm shooting in the dark here.
