    To change an existing user to be a superuser in PostgreSQL, you can use the `ALTER USER` command. Here's the syntax:

    ```sql
    ALTER USER username WITH SUPERUSER;
    ```

    Replace `username` with the name of the user you want to promote to superuser. Note that you need to have appropriate privileges to execute this command.

    For example, to change a user named "myuser" to be a superuser, you can run:

    ```sql
    ALTER USER myuser WITH SUPERUSER;
    ```

    This command will elevate the privileges of the user to have superuser access, granting them full control over the PostgreSQL database server.

    Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.
