Limit ownership and <code class="literal">TRIGGER</code> privilege on such tables to roles that superusers trust. Moreover, if untrusted users can create tables, use only publications that list tables explicitly. That is to say, create a subscription <code class="literal">FOR ALL TABLES</code> only when superusers trust every user permitted to create a non-temp table on the publisher or the subscriber. </p><p> The role used for the replication connection must have the <code class="literal">REPLICATION</code> attribute (or be a superuser). If the role lacks <code class="literal">SUPERUSER</code> and <code class="literal">BYPASSRLS</code>, publisher row security policies can execute. If the role does not trust all table owners, include <code class="literal">options=-crow_security=off</code> in the connection string; if a table owner then adds a row security policy, that setting will cause replication to halt rather than execute the policy. Access for the role must be configured in <code class="filename">pg_hba.conf</code> and it must have the <code class="literal">LOGIN</code> attribute. </p><p> In order to be able to copy the initial table data, the role used for the replication connection must have the <code class="literal">SELECT</code> privilege on a published table (or be a superuser). </p><p> To create a publication, the user must have the <code class="literal">CREATE</code> privilege in the database. </p><p> To add tables to a publication, the user must have ownership rights on the table. To create a publication that publishes all tables automatically, the user must be a superuser. </p><p> To create a subscription, the user must be a superuser. </p><p> The subscription apply process will run in the local database with the privileges of a superuser. </p><p> Privileges are only checked once at the start of a replication connection. They are not re-checked as each change record is read from the publisher, nor are they re-checked for each change when applied. </p></div><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional" class="navfooter"><hr></hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="logical-replication-monitoring.html" title="31.6.
