Yes, that is quite the thing, I was looking for. But unfortunately there
is a note within the documentation: "Note: This feature is intended as a
temporary measure until a complete solution is found. At that time, this

Another question is, how to grant the right of creating a databaseuser
to a certain database user for only one database.
