PostGraphile version: 4.3.3

This section of the documentation explains what --no-ignore-rbac does.

However, not sure who the user here is. Is the user that we passed on to connection string to postgraphile cli? Or is this the "user" attached to the current context/resolver?

I ran the forum example and seems to be the former (user passed in connection string). However, given that you are talking about specific user postgraphile_visitor in the documentation, I took it to mean the latter (based on current context/resolver).

Can you confirm?

It’s the union of the role in the connection string, and any role that that role can become. PostGraphile generates one GraphQL schema that is shared by all clients.

I’ll remove or reword the example.
