    <title>repmgr user permissions</title>
    <para>
      &repmgr; will create an extension database containing objects
      for administering &repmgr; metadata. The user defined in the <varname>conninfo</varname>
      setting must be able to access all objects. Additionally, superuser permissions
      are required to install the &repmgr; extension. The easiest way to do this
      is create the &repmgr; user as a superuser, however if this is not
      desirable, the &repmgr; user can be created as a normal user and a
      superuser specified with <literal>--superuser</literal> when registering a &repmgr; node.
