-  As these functions return detailed page-level information, only the superuser
-  has EXECUTE privileges on them upon installation.  After the functions have
-  been installed, users may issue <command>GRANT</command> commands to change
-  the privileges on the functions to allow non-superusers to execute them. Members
-  of the <literal>pg_stat_scan_tables</literal> role are granted access by default. See
-  the description of the <xref linkend="sql-grant"> command for specifics.
+  By default use is restricted to superusers and members of the
+  <literal>pg_stat_scan_tables</literal> role. Access may be granted to others
+  using <command>GRANT</command>.
