Common users can view status of their own sessions only. The state information of other accounts is empty. For example, after user judy is connected to the database, the state information of user joe and the initial user omm in pg_stat_activity is empty.
SELECT datname, usename, usesysid, state,pid FROM pg_stat_activity_ng;
datname | usename | usesysid | state | pid
