Yeah, that sounds better to me.  monitoring.sgml has a different way
of wording what looks like the same thing for pg_stat_xact_*_tables:
"Ordinary users can only see all the information about their own
sessions (sessions belonging to a role that they are a member of)".

So you could say instead something like: this information is only
visible to superusers, roles with privileges of the pg_read_all_stats
role, and the user owning the sessionS being reported on (including
sessions belonging to a role that they are a member of).
