How I can run a function written in plpgsql as superuser when I'm logged into the database as normal user with a restrict access to tables?

re: Running function as superuser

1) you can set your role to admin and run a function (if you have enough strong privileges)
2) you can create this function from admin account with SECURE DEFINER option. Everybody would run this functions with admin rights.
