The most likely explanation is that the QGIS application connects with
A database user different from [user_name].

Set "log_statement = 'all'" in postgresql.conf, reload and the database
modifications will be logged.  With an appropriate setting for "log_line_prefix"
you will be able to see which database user performs the operation.
