Re: who can view pg_stat_activity?

Thank you for your prompt answer Shreeyansh

I granted all privileges to the pg_stat_activity view to the newmail
account and still get this result when trying to access:

select * from pg_stat_activity limit 4;
datid | datname | pid | usesysid | usename | application_name |
client_addr | client_hostname | client_port | backend_start | xact_start |
query_start | state_change | waiting | state | backend_xid | backend_xmin
| query
