From PostgreSQL 12, &repmgr; uses the <command>pg_promote()</command> function to promote a standby
to primary.
</para>
<para>
By default, execution of <command>pg_promote()</command> is restricted to superusers.
If the <literal>repmgr</literal> use is not a superuser, execution permission for this
function must be granted with e.g.:
<programlisting>
GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION pg_catalog.pg_promote TO repmgr</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
A future &repmgr; release will relax this restriction by falling back to
<command>pg_ctl promote</command>, as used for pre-PostgreSQL 12 versions.

&repmgr; executes <command>CHECKPOINT</command> on the demotion candidate as part of the shutdown

If the <literal>repmgr</literal> user is not a superuser, the checkpoint operation will
fail, though this is not a fatal error &repmgr; will continue the switchover process.
