superuser lacking privs

I am new to Postgres coming from a background in SQL Server, Informix, MySQL and Oracle. However, I am a little confused right now and maybe someone can answer this.

Typically a super user such as SA, mysql, Informix etc ... has rights to all objects in any database. However, we have a database owned by a user (otheruser) and if I log in as superuser postgres and connect to the database in question I cannot see any objects. What am I missing here?

I am logging in then issuing \c dbname

Here are the entries for roles

List of roles
Role name | Superuser | Create role | Create DB | Connections | Member of
------------+-----------+-------------+-----------+-------------+------------
postgres | yes | yes | yes | no limit | {}
otheruser | no | no | no | no limit | {siteadmins}
siteadmins | no | no | no | no limit | {}

Thanks for any feedback.
