If you want to run postgres with a different account I say why not. While initializing the db you need to mention what user u want to run as super user.

Even when possible, I won't recommend it; not for postgres reasons, but for security. If someone compromises the domain account, could gain access to postgres data with no restriction. Unless there is a reason to use a domain account, of source.

Subject: Is it okay to run Postgres service account as a domain account (on Linux)?
Just wondering if it is recommended, or not, to run Postgres as a domain
account on Linux. If not, then why not?
Thank you,
David
