But http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/sql-createdatabase.html says

"To create a database, you must be a superuser or have the special CREATEDB privilege."

Where to find "privilege"-listing?

• Not listed at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/index.html
• http://www.postgresql.org/search/?u=%2Fdocs%2F9.3%2F&q=privilege - the search result listing comes with little texts, the first contains " See Section 5.6 for more information about privileges."
• Clicking that result leads to http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/functions-info.html, the first result for in-page search repeats the above sentence, with hyperlink to the http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/ddl-priv.html
