Обсуждение: Permissions required for service user account _after_ installation

The "Silent install of PostgreSQL on Windows" document states that "The
service user needs Log on as a service, Log on locally and Access this
computer from the network."  If the PostgreSQL database will only be
accessed via localhost, are these permissions still required after the
installation has finished (ie: are they required to simply run the
database).  I hadn't seen this document until today and during my
installation script I take away the "log on locally" and "access this
computer from the network" rights after the installation has finished,
and so far everything seems to be working properly.  Or is just a matter
of my not having bumped into a problem yet?

For "log on locally", you are safe to remove it after the install. It'
sonly required for initdb.

I'm not 100% sure on the "access from the network". I seem to recall
there was a situation when it was needed by the general server, but I
can't remember what it was:-) And I'm not sure it was there.
