"To lock a table, the user must have the right privilege for the specified
lockmode, or be the table's owner or a superuser. If the user has UPDATE,
DELETE, or TRUNCATE privileges on the table, any lockmode is permitted.
If the user has INSERT privileges on the table, ROW EXCLUSIVE MODE
(or a less-conflicting mode as described in Section 13.3) is permitted.
If a user has SELECT privileges on the table, ACCESS SHARE MODE is permitted."
