&repmgr; will create an extension database containing objects
for administering &repmgr; metadata. The user defined in the <varname>conninfo</varname>
setting must be able to access all objects. Additionally, superuser permissions
are required to install the &repmgr; extension. The easiest way to do this
is create the &repmgr; user as a superuser, however if this is not
desirable, the &repmgr; user can be created as a normal user and a
superuser specified with <literal>--superuser</literal> when registering a &repmgr; node.
&repmgr; requires that the database defined in the <varname>conninfo</varname>
setting contains the <literal>repmgr</literal> extension. The database user defined in the
<varname>conninfo</varname> setting must be able to access this database and
the database objects contained within the extension.
</para>
<para>
The <literal>repmgr</literal> extension can only be installed by a superuser.
If the &repmgr; user is a superuser, &repmgr; will create the extension automatically.
</para>
<para>
Alternatively, the extension can be created manually by a superuser
(with &quot;<command>CREATE EXTENSION repmgr</command>&quot;) before executing
<link linkend="repmgr-primary-register">repmgr primary register</link>.
