An example from a book on PostgreSQL server programming that I'm working through (Note that it is obviously awkward to write with gender pronouns when gender is irrelevant, note the "he she" in one place and "he/she" in another!):

   full query for their queries."
 
Can I quietly suggest "​Users with superuser pemissions can always see the full query​, while regular users will only see the full query for their own queries."?
