The Cloud docs called the users from serverpod cloud db user create superusers. They can read and write data, but they can't create or change tables, disable triggers, or set session_replication_role, so standard advice for superusers fails on them.

  • Database page: step 2 says what the user can and can't do, and the direct access bullet says "database users". The bullet's long sentence is split in two.
  • scloud db intro: "create and reset database users".

The CLI help text still says "superuser". It is tracked in serverpod/serverpod#5768, and the generated CLI reference will follow once the CLI changes.
