You just have to add the new pg user you created as able to act as a privileged user of both your tables and their sequences. To do this, just pick the privilege tab of the cPanel for each component (tables and sequences), select your pg user in the top list and pick the SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE checkboxes and save the new granted rights.

After this, all will just run fine and as expected.

You don't have to care about this as long as you follow the previous steps. I don't think it's possible, at least with the actual cPanel config., and i connect, for my own, the phpPgAdmin in letting it authenticate me with the on-rev account owner credentials. No problem to expect, in about the security of your online apps as long as they are only available to you .irev scripts with the pg user granted rights only (witch will be the case in fact and in practice).
