To meet our security requirement, we would like to use another account other than postgres to install and run postgreSQL.  Is this possible to do?


​You need to tell us by what method you intend to install PostgreSQL, and on what platform, before this can be usefully answered.​

The documentation covers how to go about installing from source.  It should cover how to choose a label different than "postgres" if you so desire.
