How to set auto increment primary key in PostgreSQL?

I have a table in PostgreSQL with many columns, and I want to add an auto increment primary key.

I tried to create a column called id of type BIGSERIAL but pgadmin responded with an error:

ERROR: sequence must have same owner as table it is linked to.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? How do I add or create an auto-incrementing primary key in PostgreSQL without recreating the table?
