There is no direct link between Windows users and Postgres users (there is no "Windows Authentication"). So simply don't tell your Windows administrator the Postgres DBA passwort (of course the Windows administrator can always edit pg_hba.conf so that isn't much protection)user1822– user18222013-05-08 09:54:57 +00:00Commented May 8, 2013 at 9:54

2So the answer is no. The Windows administrator on the machine that Postgres (or any software) is installed on can do anything to the installed software and thereby get access.Colin 't Hart– Colin 't Hart2013-05-08 09:57:46 +00:00Commented May 8, 2013 at 9:57

3Correct, just like the answer for SQL Server was. Aaron's (accepted answer) sums it up pretty well: "If you don't trust someone, don't give them Windows Administrator rights, period."user1822– user18222013-05-08 10:02:08 +00:00Commented May 8, 2013 at 10:02

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. sql-server), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
