The prompt indicates whether you have administrator privileges in
PostgreSQL. Here's an illustration:

bray=# select usename, usesuper from pg_user;
usename | usesuper
----------+----------
postgres | t
dan | f
ruth | f
olly | t
hoho | f
(6 rows)

bray=# \c - dan
You are now connected as new user dan.
bray=> \c - olly
You are now connected as new user olly.
bray=#
