It was my understanding that the replication process itself runs with the user specified when creating the subscription - which is no necessarily a superuser. Only a user that is part of the "replication" role. The replication user also needs to be granted SELECT privileges on all tables of the publication, so it's quite easy to control what the replication user has access to. Plus the publication also limits what the replication can see. I second the idea that not requiring a superuser to create a subscription would make things a lot easier. We worked around that by creating a security definer function that runs the CREATE SUBSCRIPTION command. Thomas
