Re: Error Message: ERROR: CREATE USER: permission denied

I don't think this is a pgAdmin problem.  You need to log in as a superuser 
account to create a user.  The superuser is usually called postgres in a 
standard PostgreSQL install although any user can be made a superuser (See 
ALTER USER <username> CREATEUSER).

Try

CREATE USER <username>;

via psql or the sql window in pgAdmin to see if that does it.
