MacOS Application Security

Hi,

From what I'm reading, you need to create a user with the bare minimum of rights to install and use PostgreSQL for security reasons. Question is, when you install PostgreSQL on a Mac using the Postgres.app and then you go to the data folder with the cluster and have a look at the permissions, my computer name user (I'm guessing an admin of some sort) is plastered across everything. Is the Postgres.app inherently less secure? Is using the Homebrew approach a better idea? Or should I just manually set permissions after the app is installed?

Thanks!
