Permission denied to cancel query Only roles with privileges of the role whose query is being canceled or with privileges of the "pg_signal_backend" role may cancel this query Topic: Render Postgres 17 Instance Hi everyone, I created a new credential through the render dashboard. I’m trying to rotate to this new credential and delete the old one. When using this new role, I get the error: permission denied to cancel query Only roles with privileges of the role whose query is being canceled or with privileges of the “pg_signal_backend” role may cancel this query. This does not happen with the original role. What is the proper and correct way of handling this? I want this new credential have the exact permission and privilege as the old one. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
