    Normally, the creator becomes the owner of the new database.
-   A different owner may be specified by using the OWNER
-   clause (but only superusers may create databases on behalf of other users).
-   To create a database owned by oneself, either superuser privilege
-   or CREATEDB privilege is required.  A superuser may create a database
-   for another user, even if that user has no special privileges himself.
+   Superusers can create databases owned by other users using the
+   OWNER clause. They can even create databases owned by
+   users with no special privileges. Non-superusers with CREATEDB
+   privilege can only create databases owned by themselves.
