Question

'Permission denied to create the database' when 'python manage.py test' is run. A postgres user permission must be added to the postgres user

When using postgres as your database (instead of sqlite), you must grant permission to your database user so django can create a database when running the test suite.

You will receive a 'permission denied to create the database' error when running:
python manage.py test
