Re: who can view pg_stat_activity?

Thank you for your prompt answer Shreeyansh

I granted all privileges to the pg_stat_activity view to the newmail account and still get this result when trying to access:

select * from pg_stat_activity limit 4;

 datid |     datname      |  pid  | usesysid | usename | application_name | client_addr | client_hostname | client_port | backend_start | xact_start | query_start | state_change | waiting | state | backend_xid | backend_xmin |          query

Hi Mark Steben,

There is no superuser required to view pg_stat_activity, a normal user can also view or access.

Good morning,

We currently run postgres 9.4.  The only way to view the pg_stat_activity view that I can see is that you must be a superuser.  I couldn't find anything in the documentation to confirm or refute this.  Could you please confirm if this is true or if not, what privileges are required?

Thank you for your time.
