`pguser` is an unprivileged user that cannot create databases, but can operate within pgdb database.

I see you also created this topic for postgres user - [Postgres user: no such user. What user has permissions to create a database? - #2 by spronin](https://forums.percona.com/t/postgres-user-no-such-user-what-user-has-permissions-to-create-a-database/14693/2)

I hope my answer helps there.
