Why can't I edit user privileges in pgAdmin 4?

Question

Everything is in the title: I can't edit user privileges in pgAdmin 4.

To be more precise: I launch pgAdmin 4, enter the global password, enter the server password, click on Login/Group Roles, click on the user for which I want to edit the privileges, click on Properties, then Edit, then Privileges and here is the issue, I cannot edit anything, it's like disabled.

Any idea on how to solve that ?

Please **[edit]** your question and add the `grant` or `revoke` statements you are running and the exact error message you get. — , Oct 03 '21 at 15:08
No, everything is not in the title. what menu are you using? What happens? Is it greyed out? Does it throw an error? Does your computer burst into flames? — jjanes, Oct 03 '21 at 15:14
@a_horse_with_no_name I edited the question. I cannot run any statements. — Takamura, Oct 03 '21 at 15:29
@jjanes Yes it's like greyed out/disabled/impossible to edit. — Takamura, Oct 03 '21 at 15:30
@a_horse_with_no_name The Query Tool is also disabled/greyed out. — Takamura, Oct 03 '21 at 15:32
Are you a superuser? Unless you are a superuser, most things will be greyed out. — jjanes, Oct 03 '21 at 15:52

The problem was that I was connecting to the server with a non superuser role. So before connecting to the server, edit its connection settings with username postgres or any other superuser and it should be good.

Many thanks to @jjanes for pointing me in the right direction.
