michaelpq · michaelpq · commit ee27871a8caa · 2022-05-21T19:06:13.000+09:00
The description of track_activities mentioned that it is visible to superusers and that the information related to the current session can be seen, without telling about pg_read_all_stats. Roles that are granted the privileges of pg_read_all_stats can also see this information, so mention it in the docs.
