| To add a superuser or grant superuser permission, please refer to the [Superusers page](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/r_superusers.html). | ||

| If you are unable to add superuser permissions, please ensure the user has SELECT privilege on [`SVV_TABLE_INFO`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/dg/r_SVV_TABLE_INFO.html) table. | ||
| This source needs to access system tables that require extra permissions. |

Should we mention anything at all about the super user?

The user won't be a super user, it just has full access to all the system tables but it won't even be able to query the tables and also should not be able to add/remove users

I will add this from the Redshift documentation:
Giving a user unrestricted access to system tables gives the user visibility to data generated by other users. For example, STL_QUERY and STL_QUERYTEXT contain the full text of INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements, which might contain sensitive user-generated data.
