)

I have tried this "command python3 manage.py migrate" after creating database and linking in settings.py in this way...:-

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': '<name>',
        'USER': '<username>',
        'PASSWORD': 'admin',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '5432',

    }
}

i have tried grant "commands" in psql there is no use

Answer 1

Applying the following command solves it for me without giving the new user all privileges, just setting him as the owner of the project db.

ALTER DATABASE <db_name> OWNER TO <db_user>;

Answer 2

I faced the exact issue several times and solved by providing permission every single time. Anyone who stumbled in same scenario can try below command in psql CLI:

GRANT postgres TO <user>;
