Are you saying that the security policy of your company forces you to
run software as root rather than as an ordinary user?

If yes, you should get rid of the people who came up with
that policy.

PostgreSQL must be run as a normal user for security reasons, namely
to limit the negative effects of software bugs and user attacks.
